Deep Web Technologies has launched the beta version of ScienceResearch.com, 'a free, publicly available web portal allowing access to numerous scientific journals and public science databases.' From yesterday's press release: '[A] single query will search thousands of high quality journals and databases, effectively millions of documents, in real-time. Additionally, powered by DWT's proprietary QuickRank(TM) technology, the results are conveniently ranked by relevance on a single results page. "ScienceResearch.com is an extension of the work we have accomplished deploying a number of highly visible search portals for the federal government," said Abe Lederman, President and CTO of Deep Web Technologies...."With our next release of ScienceResearch.com, the automation of the search and notification processes of pertinent science data, an individual is kept up-to-date on the latest breakthroughs in that field. In the past, the general public has had to rely on individual queries of numerous journals and web sites. Now, they have the capability of accessing these journals, databases and web sites through a single portal without the hassle of navigating each individual search page interface and authentication sequence." Roger Rios, Director of Business Development, added, "Please allow me to emphasize that ScienceResearch.com basic service is free to the public. By the end of the year ScienceResearch.com will have the advanced features that Abe mentioned, namely Alerts and Personal Libraries, which may be subscribed to for a nominal monthly or yearly fee. ScienceResearch.com will serve as the core engine for customized solutions for more sophisticated but cost-sensitive users, such as public and university libraries."'

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
