Introduction
There are many different reference materials used in UNSW Embryology. This page is a link to selected Journals available on Medline. NIH Pubmed has the most current full correct list of Journal titles.
Please note that new Journals appear, old journals fade, or are renamed continuously so the list is only current at the time of preparation.
All papers are listed, and can be searched for freely online, in NIH PubMed which in most cases includes the paper abstract. There
are also a number of different commercial databases used by some Universities to access research papers.
There are then varied access to the full papers, based upon where and how
you are accessing the internet and the Journal policy. If accessing through a University or other institution site with
a Journal subscription, often the full papers are available. Alternatively the following options are generally available.
1. Some Journals, like PNAS, PLoS, and PLoM offer full free access to the many articles published.
2. Other Journals offer free access to older archived issues and limited access to the current issue.
3. Still other Journals have access only through subscription or individual paper online purchase.
Electronic versions of papers are usually available as Acrobat documents (PDF) and may also be available as HTML.

Finally
For those wanting to see dynamic processes of development (and have a reasonably
quick connection) then the Movies
pages are good for watching changes occur.
Other Embryos
The study of human development has relied extensively on studying the process
in other model animals. For those wanting to see the process of development
in other species then the other embryos
pages are a good start.
Comments
This page is a central resource link page for Journals in UNSW Embryology.
Publishing in Science is going through an electronic revolution, with many Journals being dragged kicking and screaming into
the new world.
Many publishers see electronic availability of papers as an erosion of their income base
(through subscription and control of reprint availability)
and being a threat to their control of publishing in general.
While some scientists now see reliquishing their complete copyright to a
Journal, subsequent loss of control and general access, as an anachronism in this electronic age of rapid
sharing of research results.
Sometimes the answer is also not as clearcut, with some Journals run not by "commercial" publishers, but by scientific bodies
who also rely on subscriptions to support the aims and functions of that body or association.
We also know (or don't know) that there is a vast body of Scientific findings that are never published as "commercial and in confiedence".
The new trend spearheaded by the Public Library of Science and Public Library of Medicine
which allows full free online access to all published articles is also an exciting new opening for full and free
access to, and distribution of, scientific information.
Knowledge relies on our ability to structure information in a useful way, and Science has always depended on building new
findings on older (published) information. The (r)evolution of scientific publishing is like the what we see in science itself.
These are exciting times indeed!
