Every word is now there at your fingertips.
One of the nation's oldest land-grant research publications, California Agriculture, has put all the articles created in its 63-year history — numbering up to 6,000 — on the Web, where the material is free and searchable. You can find the archive on home page (which, by the way, has been redesigned).
The journal, published by UC's Agriculture and Natural Resources division, includes peer-reviewed science dating back to 1946. Previously, the California Agriculture archive went back only to 2000. To go back all 63 years, UC hired a Virginia-based company, Aptara, to process more than 550 journal issues.
"This highly valuable research is now widely available online for the benefit of authors, readers and scientists worldwide," said Janet White, executive editor. "Our old, well-worn hard copies have been transformed into high-quality, reusable XML-based content and full-text PDFs, with the highest levels of data integrity and readability."
Subscribers to California Agriculture include 17,000 growers, faculty members, environmental and health professionals, government researchers, public officials and others.
