New functionalities of the JGP website
We urge the Journal’s readership to visit the new JGP website and play with our widgets. Check out the “Most Read/Most Cited” feature to see which articles are hot. Peruse the newest articles, now identified by thumbnails. Click on the “Commentaries and Perspectives” tab to find up-to-date critical analyses of current topics of broad interest to the general physiologist. When you download an article, choose whether you want to simultaneously download any Supplemental Material, check the article’s usage statistics, and set up an “alert” for any citations. For an overview of these and other changes, enjoy the description “New style, same substance” (May 2010; JGP 135:393) by Mike Rossner, Executive Director of The Rockefeller University Press. Stay tuned for further changes.
