Guys, Now is the great oppurtunity to make some useful to all of us. we can make a catalogue of all the available journals to which access is available in our respective labs and institutions and then if possible we can collect and maintain passwords and usernames for the available journals. who knows when this might be useful to us. i will post some of them in my next update. but we need to keep them confidential and let us be generous to humanity in other works.
