arXivarXiv is a free distribution service and an open-access archive for 1,701,603 scholarly articles in the fields of physics, mathematics, computer science, quantitative biology, quantitative finance, statistics, electrical engineering and systems science, and economics. Materials on this site are not peer-reviewed by arXiv.
BiosciEdNet - digital sources for biological sciencesThe BEN Collaborative mission is not only to provide seamless access to e-resources but to also serve as a catalyst for strengthening teaching and learning in the biological sciences.
Genotype-Tissue Expression Project GTExResource for scientists to study human gene expression and genetic variation. Provides tissue bank for future research, in particular, genetically inherited diseases.
Inspirehep.netINSPIRE is a trusted community hub that helps researchers to share and find accurate scholarly information in high energy physics.
PLOS (Public Library of Science)Peer-reviewed journal in science and medicine, full-text. Includes Microbiology, Ecology, Microbiology, Neuroscience among many other disciplines.
PrePrint Biosciences Server- Cold Spring HarborbioRxiv (pronounced "bio-archive") is a free online archive and distribution service for unpublished preprints in the life sciences. It is operated by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, a not-for-profit research and educational institution. By posting preprints on bioRxiv, authors are able to make their findings immediately available to the scientific community and receive feedback on draft manuscripts before they are submitted to journals.
PubMedMillions of citations for biomedical literature from MEDLINE, life science journals, and online books. Differs from PubMedCentral in that not all articles are full-text.
