At Kinexus Bioinformatics Corporation, we plan to launch by the end of this year Kinetica Online, an open-access, meta-website dedicated to supporting cell signaling research. Kinetica Online will feature original research articles from our scientists and collaborators, blogs, experimental databases, knowledgebases, educational materials including animations and videos, and links to hundreds of other resource websites and blog sites. As an interactive website, viewers will be able to add their own feedback to the articles and blogs on Kinetica Online. I fully agree with Alan Marnett that this type of website could become increasingly popular for dissemination and storage of scientific ideas and ideas.
For laboratories in academic settings, it should become feasible for the universities to host open-access websites that allows for the dissemination of results from their faculties. Many university-based presses already exist for publishing books and journals. With PubMed and Google searches, it is actually no longer necessary that website-based journals are thematic for a particular field or discipline. Post publication peer-review from the scientific community will ensure that mostly high quality publication will still be produced, as it could be very embarrassing for authors to have their findings openly criticized at the end of their manuscript if the work is poorly performed or presented.
