We are pleased to announce the addition of a new journal to the Bioline International website.

The Nigerian Food Journal (NIFOJ) is a journal of international standard established in 1983 to provide a forum for the dissemination of interdisciplinary knowledge on all aspects of Food Science and Technology. In particular, NIFOJ is designed to contribute towards the development of new and improved food sources, products and processes, their proper utilization by the Nigerian Food Industry and the consumer, and their effective regulation by government agency. For effective communication of special attributes and advantages of food products and materials, technical advertisements are encouraged in this edition to test acceptability. Subsequent editions may include a focus on the activities of a particular food industry in Nigeria.

All issues are available on an open access (freely accessible) basis. Volume 25, No. 2 (2007) is online now at http://www.bioline.org.br/nf , and more issues will be added in the near future.

A number of Bioline journals will soon be participating in the Google Scholar Digitization project.

Recently, Bioline International was approached by the staff of the Google Scholar Digitization project. Interested in the back files of Bioline journals, Google Scholar staff asked Bioline to recommend this project to our journals.

At the current time, a number of Bioline International journals have expressed an interest in participating in this project, which will create digital copies of journal back files that are not currently available online. Journals will work directly with Google Scholar, and once online, Bioline will make every effort to link to the back files that have been created. At this stage, many of the journals are currently working with Google Scholar to form agreements, before the digitization of their back files can begin.

This is a fantastic opportunity for many Bioline journals to gain further international exposure. Bioline's limited resources mean that it could be years before Bioline could undertake to digitize these back files. However, with the help of Google Scholar's digitization project, these back files will become readily available to interested users.

You can read more about the Google Scholar Digitization project in the article, Changes at Google Scholar: A Conversation With Anurag Acharya.

We will post an update with a list of what journals are participating in this exciting project as soon as the journal material becomes available.
