ACP Journal Club merged with Annals of Internal Medicine
Medical researchers and clinicians take note! As of May 2008, ACP Journal Club ceased being published as a separate journal. Instead of being a bimonthly stand-alone journal, ACP Journal Club is now a monthly feature of Annals of Internal Medicine.
This arrangement will benefit readers of both publications. First, the ACP Journal Club summaries will now be available to readers once a month rather than bi-monthly. Second, busy clinicians will now have easy access to both publications in a single access point. Third, co-publication will facilitate links between topically related material in the two publications.
The ACP has also launched a new alerting service to members called ACP Journal Club PLUS. Sign up to receive e-mail alerts from ACP when articles of interest to you are identified by the McMaster program. You can customize this service for your own clinical interests and receive alerts about new articles that your peers with similar interests have found relevant and noteworthy.
For more information visit the ACP Journal Club website.

Community of Scholars Research Support Suite (Trial ends July 31/08)
The COS Research Support Suite includes three databases which are available on the CSA Illumina search platform, for which access is automatic, and another on the COS platform, which requires a login. The Research Support Suite is comprised of a collation of resources related to the research process, namely:
COS Funding Opportunities with Alerts: A compiled database of available opportunities for grants, fellowships, prizes and other type of funding. It is an extensive database with opportunities for recipients anywhere in the world, working in any discipline.
COS Scholar Universe: Provides authoritative information about more than 1.5 million scholars and organizations around the world, together with verified affiliation and publication information. The database includes information on international faculty at 4-year universities and their departments. Scholar Universe is a unique tool for identifying researchers by specific area of study, providing keyword access to the community behind the content.
PapersInvited: Provides a perspective on non-periodic publication opportunities. The database consists of detailed information and deadlines about calls for papers for forthcoming conferences and special issues of scholarly journals. These calls for papers are issued by professional bodies, journal editors and other conference organizers in all disciplines and from all over the world. Thus, the database serves as an alerting service for researchers, scholars and students that are seeking opportunities to present and publish their research.
COS Expertise: Works in conjunction with Scholar Universe to enable researchers to enhance the profiles by adding first-person information such as language skills, photos, honors/awards, associations, patents held, and grants received. Login using the following:
