New open access journal added to LYMAN online catalog : AIDS Research and Therapy

A new open access journal, AIDS Research and Therapy, has been added to LYMAN, the online catalog today, and is being published by BioMedCentral : the Open Access Publisher.
AIDS Research and Therapy is an Open Access, online journal that publishes peer-reviewed research articles from scientists working to prevent the spread of AIDS.
Issues are available from v.1:no.1 (2004:December)- .

AIDS Research and Therapy aims to publish basic science as well as clinically important research articles that impact on abating the spread of AIDS. This multidisciplinary journal aims to keep scientists and clinicians abreast of the latest research on HIV-1. It will publish articles on novel and developing treatment strategies for AIDS, as well as on the outcomes of established treatment strategies. Original research articles on animal models that form an essential part of the AIDS treatment research will also be published. The ultimate goal of the journal's focus is to lead bench research to bedside practice to combat AIDS.

AIDS is spreading at alarming rates in several African and Asian countries. Thus, any development that occurs in combating AIDS should be disseminated as rapidly as possible through the world. Although there are several AIDS-related journals in print, none of them are openly accessible to the world through the Internet. AIDS Research and Therapy will provide an Open Access journal specifically devoted to HIV-1 and AIDS research.
