Dear Subscriber !

Welcome to the November issue of EVISA's Speciation Newsletter.

You might have recognized it by using our service "What's New on EVISA's web site ?" :  We have extended our database system significantly during this year:

  • EVISA's Journal Database now contains 3440 journals (and informs where you can find it online, and how to access the content)
  • EVISA'S Directory of Scientists now has 260 entries, informing you how to reach the world's leading experts in speciation related sciences
  • EVISA's Link Database now has more than 2000 entries, guiding you to valuable information sources related to all aspects of elemental species
  • EVISA's Instrument Database now has 2565 records, telling you which instruments are available on the market but also which one are no longer available
  • EVISA's Material Database now has 342 records, informing you about available CRMs, standards and other materials
  • EVISA's Components Database now has 175 records, guiding you to accessories, software, spare parts and other apparatus used for speciation analysis
  • EVISA's glossary now has 730 entries, explaining the terminology used in the multidisciplinary area of speciation related science
We also significantly enhanced cross-linking between the different parts of the database system and other parts of our web portal and we will continue to do so.
Some examples:
  • All News do have links to relevant parts of the EVISA database system, guiding the reader to further information related to the topic
  • All directory entries provide links to other pages related to the scientists
  • Journals do not only provide links to the publisher, the journals homepage and other journals within the same category but also to EVISA's Link database and EVISA's Company database,  informing about societies and associations as well as other websites related to the journal topics.
  • All glossary entries provide links to other pages containing the term
It is our policy to provide easy and efficient access to the most relevant information related to speciation analysis.
