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.

Biological databases and bioinformatics

Oxford Journals has launched the open access journal Database: The Journal of Biological Databases and Curation.

The new journal aims to publish "novel ideas in database research and the curation of biological information... to strengthen the bridge between database developers, curators and users." More specifically, it "will publish detailed descriptions of databases, database tools and curation strategies in the broad arena of biology... shorter papers describing significant updates to established databases... user tutorials and technical notes...".
