Practice FOR YOUR INFORMATION
Welcome to the new Journal Web site!
s the premier source for the practice and science of food, nutrition, and dietetics, the Journal of the American Dietetic Association welcomes you to learn about the recently redesigned and updated Web site located at http:// www.adajournal.org. Through ADA’s partnership with Elsevier, the January 2003 redesign of this valuable member resource includes many improvements, enhancements, and additions. Some of these include: table of contents and abstracts online; ability to read and search full-text articles; option of cross-referencing and linking to other online journals; access to Medline and other electronic databases from the Journal site; and more. Elsevier produces over 120 scientific and scholarly journals online, and has brought this design and navigation experience to our Journal.

NEW FEATURES ABOUND With all of the ongoing enhancements to the print version of the Journal, it may be easy to forget that there is an accompanying Web site. Yet, in addition to all the changes on ADA’s own Web site (http://www.eatright.org), updated early June 2003, the Journal has a new site as well. When browsing the Journal site, note the left-hand side of the home page in blue. This area lists most of the links available. Here are some of the special features (with brief descriptions below): ■ How to use this site ■ Extensive search engine (links to over 120 journals) ■ Expanded article tools and online resources ■ CPE articles online (and fully printable)

How to Use This Site The ‘how to use this site’ section contains a guided tour of the Web site. Topics covered are the Journal home page, activating your online access, main navigation bar, table of contents (TOC), TOC navigation bar, article links, searching, article navigation, cross referencing, enriched reference links, online resource, Mosby’s DrugConsult, Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM), Medline links, downloading citations, and a tips sheet. If you are ever navigating your way through the Journal site and are not sure how to look something up, this handy reference tool should be your first stop. Search Engine Searching through text is more advanced with the addition of interactive research tools. All of Elsevier’s Electronic Journals are linked together, including over 120 different journals such as American Journal of Preventive Medicine, Clinical Nutrition, Nutrition, Nutrition Research, Evidence-based Health Care, and The Lancet. Also, on the search page of the Journal site, note the link titled, ‘simple search.’ This includes three choices for searching: articles, images, and Elsevier’s product catalog. There is also the option for advanced searches. Search through articles by article text, abstract, title, author’s last name, letter, reference, and/or meeting abstract. Expanded Article Tools/ Online Resources In addition to their basic content, the references within articles are now linked to
other online resources. The buttons ‘abstract’ and ‘full-text’ indicate the article is available on Elsevier’s system and will take you directly to the article. Cross-ref and Medline links indicate that more information is available on the cited references through the Internet and Medline. Also, reprint information and publishing information are located at the end of each article. Print the article, view in a PDF, or even find related articles in the PubMed database. Each article is divided by section allowing for easy maneuvering and location of topics. Consulting drug and genetics databases is now possible through tools provided on the Journal’s Web site. Mosby’s DrugConsult, Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM), and Medline links are now available. Mosby’s DrugConsult contains an electronic guide to over 45,000 generic and brandname drugs. The OMIM database, a catalog of human genes and genetic disorders, authored and edited by Dr. Victor A. McKusick and his colleagues at Johns Hopkins and elsewhere, was developed for the Internet by the National Center of Biotechnology Information. Medline is the National Library of Medicine’s database of indexed journal citations and abstracts, containing information from over 4,000 journals. Continuing Professional Education (CPE) Articles Online Now located online are the Continuing Professional Education articles. Find the CPE link on the home page, and you will be taken to individual CPE articles, arranged by month and year. The questionnaires, including the CPE reporting form with certificates to mail in, are available for printing. Please note: the articles that accompany the questionnaires can be found under the regular ‘All issues’ tab.

Legacy Project The first phase of the Journal Legacy Project is now online containing back issues. This new, member-only benefit will be updated through its completion by late 2003.

tary medical supplements (95); Retail food (55); Human Genetics (46); and Biotechnology (38).
