Beginning in mid-February 2008,
the 1997-2007 online version of the
Science Watch® newsletter, ESI-Topics.com, and
in-cites.com, will all be featured together on the redesigned ScienceWatch.com. All previous content from the
three sites will be permanently archived, and remain accessible from any existing bookmarks to the
archived pages. No new content will be added to this
site. Updates and new content (updated biweekly) are available at ScienceWatch.com now.
