SciBX, a new electronic publication

Nature Publishing Group (NPG) and BioCentury Publications, Inc announce a new electronic publication, SciBX, that will distill and analyse newly published life-science research to help the translation of academic science into commercial products. The preview edition of SciBX (for Science-Business eXchange) is available from the organisation’s website: the publication will be distributed to subscribers every Thursday, starting on 31 January 2008.

SciBX will evaluate hundreds of high-impact, peer-reviewed scientific articles every week and select the most commercially relevant findings that merit deeper analysis. This multidisciplinary approach will provide scientific context, identify potential commercial impact and describe the next steps required to translate the newest laboratory developments into innovative healthcare solutions.

According to Medline, more than 600,000 articles were added to its database in 2006 alone. SciBX will filter this flood of scientific data, and analyse key findings within the most current scientific and business context. It will be an indispensable resource for biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, business development specialists, drug discovery and development teams, venture capitalists and other investment professionals who wish to identify new projects and potential new partners, to find enabling technology, and to be aware of competitive advances.

Please download the free preview edition of SciBX , which contains sample articles, including:

– Analysis – Providing in-depth review of new research findings and an essential understanding of the next steps required to transform these developments into commercial value.

– The Distillery – Filtering and classifying the important current research papers in biotechnology, life science and chemistry, the Distillery goes beyond the abstract to explain the science, its commercial relevance, licensing status and identify companies known to be working in the area.
