"Launching PharmSci as an electronic journal will change the way we disseminate information. Supported by a strong association, PharmSci offers significant advances in publication, rapid publication with immediate international access, and direct links to other information sources. In this medium, we are not limited by the need to print, but we can use the entire resources of the web," said Sadée.
