Hi Martin,
I have set a nice lab notebook on WordPress using custom taxonomies I set on posts. It works really well.
As I work on chemoinformatics, my projects will get a big part of developpement project management. Do you use such an application, and if yes, wich one please ?
I saw Gantt Project (desktop application), dotproject and taskfreak for now.
Thanks in advance for your help and best regards.
You are right, but for journalists, authors’ e-mails on pubmed are the only chance to contact them…
Amelia, I think a contact form would also work.
