HighWire-hosted journals account for 37 of the top 100 journals 
in Biology and Medicine, according to SLA's BioMedical & Life 
Sciences Division.  In conjunction with SLA's Centennial, the 
division conducted a poll to identify the 100 most influential 
journals of Biology & Medicine over the last 100 years. 
HighWire-hosted journals made up the single largest group among 
the 100 selected.

HighWire's high-quality technology and services have attracted 
many of the best scholarly publishers since its inception in
