JSTOR Health & General Sciences

JSTOR's General Science Collection has been renamed as the Health & General Sciences Collection to reflect the addition of several journals in the health sciences. Along with the seven titles originally introduced as the General Science Collection in 2000 - Science, PNAS, and the publications of the Royal Society of London - the expanded Health & General Sciences Collection will include several prestigious titles in nursing, as well as a cluster of well-respected titles in epidemiology. This collection has the greatest historical depth of any JSTOR offering - with titles that pre-date most others by more than 150 years. The Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London began publishing in 1665.

With the renaming of the collection, the first three health titles are now available: American Journal of Nursing (began publication in 1900), Environmental Health Perspectives (began 1972), and the Journal of Community Health Nursing (began 1984).

The complete list of titles is:

• American Journal of Nursing
