SCIENCE IN THE NEWS
Have patients come into your office with questions about a study, breakthrough or oral health issue about which they read in the media and what it might mean for them? With the ubiquity of online news sites and their ever-widening audience, these types of inquiries probably are growing increasingly common.

So where can you turn for a clear, concise analysis of oral health issues in the popular press to help you answer such questions? A new feature on ADA.org called Science in the News, prepared by the ADA Division of Science, is just the place.

For this resource, Division of Science staff members review articles from the popular press, both print and online, to identify scientific developments of importance to dentistry. Each installment of Science in the News features a brief summary of each article’s principal points, perspectives on the reported findings and practical information on how the findings may have an impact on dentistry.

"The Internet has clearly taken a mainstream role in everyday life, providing dentists and patients with more access to the latest science news than ever before," said Dr. Amid Ismail, chair of the ADA Council on Scientific Affairs. "Through Science in the News, the ADA is continuing to serve as a trusted source of reliable information on scientific issues receiving media coverage. This new feature is a one-stop informational resource, with concise analysis and perspectives that can help dentists answer their patients’ clinical care questions."

To read Science in the News, visit "www.ada.org/goto/sciencenews". For members who do not have access to the Internet, paper copies are available by contacting the Division of Science via the ADA toll-free number at Ext. 2878.

If there are articles in the popular press that you would like to see addressed in Science in the News, please contact the Division of Science at "science{at}ada.org".

JADA E-MAIL ALERTS
The new and improved online edition of JADA, launched last December, ofpfers a host of new features to help you get the most from your Journal. One feature you may not have investigated yet is the JADA-HighWire e-mail alert service. This service offers two types of content alerts.

The table of contents alert service allows anyone who registers an e-mail address with HighWire to be notified via e-mail when new JADA content goes online. You can choose to receive a simple notification that a new issue has been posted or the complete table of contents for newly posted issues, including hyperlinks to each article.

The CiteTrack alert service allows users to sign up for e-mail alerts that will be sent whenever new content meeting prescribed search criteria is posted. Using CiteTrack, you can receive notification when particular JADA articles are cited in other journals or when articles are posted on specific topics or by particular authors in any of the HighWire-hosted journals participating in the CiteTrack program.

To sign up for either table of contents or CiteTrack alerts, you need only to provide the e-mail address to which you wish the alerts to be sent. For more information, visit "http://jada.ada.org/subscriptions/etoc.dtl"
