Europe strengthens its hand in bioscience website talks...
Article Abstract:
E-Biosci, a European counterpart to the US's PubMed Central free website for life-science papers, is due to be launched in early 2000. This venture will receive $520,000 in seed funding from the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO). Most of the seed funding will be used to create the computing infrastructure at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory. In both PubMed Central and E-Biosci, most of the peer-reviewed content will probably come from existing journals, but the websites will differ significantly in the way in which non-peer-reviewed material would be accepted.

French ethics panel warns of 'crisis' in science reporting
Article Abstract:
The French national bioethics committee has released a report criticizing the release of biomedical information before results have been confirmed and the use of potential results for advertising. It is concerned about medical charities embellishing on research potentials in advertising campaigns to encourage donations and the use of medical reporting for advertising. The committee also questions the pressure put on scientists under publish or perish rule systems.

All parties keen to press on with Europe-based science website
Article Abstract:
Research organizations, commercial publishers and the European Commission have endorsed plans to launch a Europe-based global website for the scientific literature, E-Biosci. The organizers of E-Biosci may compromise on barrier-free access, and a proposal for publishers to cooperated with E-Biosci to establish a single-full-text searchable site was floated. E-Biosci is expected to hold abstracts from a broad range of disciplines, linked to full text articles.
