Citation Database of Scientific & Medical Citations Now Free

Thanks to the BeSpacific blog (1/9/2006) for
pointing us to the following press release of 1/5/2006:

"Infotrieve, Inc. today announced that it had converted
ArticleFinder, its online scientific, technical, and medical
(STM) database with more than 26 million citations and
eight million abstracts from over 54,000 journals, to a free
access model. The move provides scientists and researchers,
who work for corporations and are subject to different copyright
regulations than their academic counterparts, with an end-to-end
solution for conducting STM searches across literature from
multiple providers. The solution seamlessly retrieves full-text
scholarly journal articles that they need on a pay-per-view basis."
