The following trial subscriptions aren't guaranteed to last...
But the more you use them, the more likely it is that they'll stick around!
Analytical Methods - a new monthly peer-reviewed journal from the Royal Society of Chemistry, communicating research on the advancement of analytical techniques for use by the wider scientific community.
Example article: Clarke, D.B. (2010). Glucosinolates, structures and analysis in food, Anal. Methods, 2(4): 310-325.
Integrative Biology - publishes research that contributes to a quantitative understanding of how component properties at one level in the dimensional scale (nano to macro) determine biosystem behavior at a higher level of complexity. New journal from the Royal Society of Chemistry.
Example article: Kämpf, M.M. and Weber, W. (2010). Synthetic biology in the analysis and engineering of signaling processes, Integr. Biol., 2(1): 12-24.

Entomology journals ranked by impact

Top-ranking entomology journals
The ISI Journal Citation Reports (JCR) "impact factor" is calculated by dividing the number of citations to articles published in a journal over a certain period by the total number of articles published in that journal during the same period.
Only journals included in the "entomology" category of Journal Citation Reports were ranked. UW-Madison library subscriptions are included (in parentheses). For articles not available online, UW faculty, staff and students can request a PDF via Library Express.

Journal of Agricultural, Biological, and Environmental Statistics (JABES)

The International Biometric Society has chosen Springer as the new publisher of their Journal of Agricultural, Biological, and Environmental Statistics (JABES), beginning in March 2010 (v.15). Backfiles to 2001 (v.6-14) will also be made available on SpringerLink.
JABES is a quarterly journal publishinging papers of interest to applied researchers and consultants in the agricultural, biological (including biotechnology), and environmental sciences (including natural resources). The focus of the journal is on new, interdisciplinary, and important statistical methods using real-world data.
JABES volumes from 2001-2009 (v.6-14) were previously made available from the website of the American Statistical Association. Volumes from 1996-2003 (v.1-8) will continue to be available from JSTOR.
