I’m sure all you dilligent up-to-the-minute literature-lovers out there have just received your Journal of the American Society<\/a><\/em> table of contents alert for issue 21. I trust you noticed the little ad for ‘JACS<\/span>-\u03b2’ and the editorial<\/a>…<\/p>\n

JACS<\/span> has launched a beta<\/a> website, which includes a ‘virtual thematic web issue’ (on total synthesis), downloadable PowerPoint slides of all the figures\/schemes of an article and (gulp) “Listen to the complete text of selected JACS<\/span> communications.” For real.<\/p>\n

Personally, my favourite part is the ‘What kind of smartphone do you use?’ type of questionnaire along the RHS<\/span>. Facebook-tastic!<\/p>\n

A bit more seriously, it’s good to see JACS<\/span> getting a bit 2.0 (or indeed 21st century) on us – everyone likes a theme issue now and then (although web-only means you don’t get a nice hard copy to refer to endlessly), and I bet a lot of lecturers will like the PowerPoint slides, but…podcasts of full-on research articles? I haven’t listened to one yet, but might save one for the commute soon – anyone else tuned in and care to let us know what they think?<\/p>\n
