• EurekAlert! (http://www.eurekalert.org/). This site is an electronic index of research advances in science, medicine, health and technology as published in news briefs and in the science media, including peer-reviewed scientific journals. Although underwritten by commercial sponsors, AAAS is responsible for the editorial content.

• FirstGov for Science (http://www.science.gov/). Science.gov contains reliable information resources selected by the respective agencies as their best science information. Two major types of information are included—selected authoritative science Web sites and databases of technical reports, journal articles, conference proceedings, and other published materials.

• Office of Scientific and Technical Information (http://pubsci.osti.gov/). The Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) leads Department of Energy (DOE) e-government initiatives for disseminating R&D information. OSTI hosts a number of products that provide a vast array of information and resources pertaining to energy science and technology.

• Biology Browser (http://www.biologybrowser.org/). Thomson Scientific provides this biology browser that includes reference materials on a wide variety of subjects as well as links to current news and relevant websites.

• HealthWeb (http://www.healthweb.org/). The National Library of Medicine supports this internet directory that divides websites on each topic into Academic, Electronic Journals, Conferences, Discussion Boards, and Educational Resources.

• Biological Journals and Abbreviations (http://home.ncifcrf.gov/research/bja/). These pages contain the abbreviations, full titles, and links to some WWW pages for a large variety of biological and medical journals. The list is by no means complete or authoritative.
