OncologySTAT

The Reed Elsevier, publishers of more than 400 medical and scientific journals, is experimenting and introduced a Web portal OncologySTAT, http://www.oncologystat.com/ that gives free access to the latest articles from 100 of its own pricey medical journals. Once oncologists register to this site with their personal information, they get access to the latest cancer-related articles from Elsevier journals like The Lancet and Surgical Oncology.
