Trial on JSTOR Plant Science to the end of 2011

Posted on by

JSTOR Plant Science (http://plants.jstor.org/) is an online environment that brings together global plants content, tools, and people interested in plant science. It provides access to foundational content vital to plant science – plant type specimens, taxonomic structures, scientific literature, and related materials. We are proud to be offering JSTOR Plant Science to all participating institutions worldwide at no cost through the end of 2011.

This new environment includes content from our Global Plants Initiative partners, bringing the amount of materials to 800,000 type specimens, paintings, drawings, correspondence, and supporting materials. By 2013, we expect to have over 2.2 million type specimens available, making JSTOR Plant Science the largest collection of its kind in the world. These materials are now truly global in scope representing over 160 partners in 47 countries on 5 continents.  

Aside from botanists and those dedicated to the plant sciences, JSTOR Plant Science is especially useful for

• Ecologists
• Conservationists
• Environmental scientists
• Historians
• Pharmacologists
• Biologists
• Geneticists
• Agricultural Scientists
• even Art Historians
