Dear Subscriber !

Welcome to the September issue of EVISA's Speciation Newsletter


Today we would like to report about EVISA's database system. Since we have started the EVISA web portal in 2003 ! we have continuously worked on EVISA's unique database system. Today we can really proudly report  that EVISA's Database System is a very versatile tool of related and interlinked databases providing actual and relevant information about different aspects of trace elements and their speciation. The actual status of the whole system is as follows:

EVISA's Database System is meant to provide easy access to relevant information. The different databases are heavily interlinked to each other and to all information pages on EVISA's web site. In order to empower our users to make the best use out of this system we start a series of short descriptions of the different databases (see the news below).

NEWS

EVISA is keeping you updated  with what is going on in speciation analysis. In this section you will find news about the most current research results, about trends, legal issues and informations from manufacturers in the field of speciation analysis.

With all the links to further information and publications the News archive is a valuable collection of "hot topics" in speciation analysis. We continuously update even former news with new links and information so that all news are actual all the time.


EVISA's Directory of Scientists
EVISA's Directory of Scientists informs about scientists working in the interdisciplinary area of chemical species.

EVISA's Journal Database
EVISA's unique journal Database is giving access to about 3800 scientific journals from many different publishers. Journals included are potentially of interest for all scientists working on topics related to trace elements and their speciation. EVISA is listing not only the major journals with great impact but also those providing information for special regions (Africa, Asia, South America).

VACANCIES

EVISA provides information about open positions for Ph.D. students, PostDocs and permanent staff in the field of speciation. Looking to fill a vacancy or needing a new career challenge? Either way this service is FREE. Many laboratories and research facilities (from Greenland to Crete) have already found their highly educated stuff through this service by EVISA. If you would like to post an open position here, please contact us at info@speciation.net !


Doctorates

University of Warwick: Extreme Performance Mass Spectrometry of Metallodrugs
Two Warwick Collaborative Postgraduate Research PhD Scholarships are available from October 2012 in the groups led by Professor Peter Sadler FRS and Professor Pete O’Connor using ultra high resolution mass spectrometry to study the mechanism of action of organometallic and photoactivatable metal anticancer complexes.

DIRECTORY

EVISA's directory of scientist is a versatile tool to facilitate contact with scientists in the field of speciation and related sciences. The directory is fully searchable for names, addresses, research topics etc.  You should bookmark this directory as an always up-to-date address book. (In order to hinder SPAM robots for collecting the E-mail accounts, we hide them in a special format).

More than 270 active scientists in the field of speciation analysis already joined the directory. Join this great directory that is extensively linked to all type of other information on this site, such as homepages, conferences and literature.

If your entry is still missing in this directory, please contact us at info@speciation.net.

LINKS

EVISA provides an easy access to external information. Our database contains more than 2550 links to relevant information from numerous top scientific resources spread over the whole Web. The database is searchable both via full-text and categories such as elements, type of species and type of information. We are permanently updating our links section.

If your web site is missing here, please e-mail your link information to info@speciation.net.
