Collexis Holdings, Inc. and JISC Collections - Helping to Widen Access to Essential Biomedical Research in the United Kingdom

Business Wire, July 7, 2008

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- A major new agreement was announced today between Collexis Holdings Inc. (OTCBB: CLXS), a leading developer of semantic knowledge discovery software and expert profiles, and JISC Collections for an online resource, which aims to encourage greater collaboration and expand scientific knowledge amongst the biomedical research community in the UK. For specially negotiated subscription fees, researchers, teaching staff and students at universities and research councils in the UK, will be able to access Collexis' Expert Profiling. This online resource enables users to quickly identify experts within their institution as well as identify, locate and collaborate with other experts from around the world.

Using the Collexis system, subscribing institutions can create expert profiles of investigators, researchers and departments to disseminate ground-breaking research and biomedical advances. These profiles are generated using researchers' publications from a variety of sources. Profiles are then available to all researchers, allowing them to easily find what is being published, what researchers are active and the pace of research in a particular area of interest.

"Collexis' Expert Profiling System fosters collaboration among researchers, allowing them to leverage the information of their colleagues and work to enhance, stimulate and create new ideas and discoveries," said Bill Kirkland, CEO of Collexis Holdings, Inc. "We are excited about working with JISC Collections to create internal expert profiling systems that bridge the gap between departments, cooperating organisations, basic research and clinical research."

Lorraine Estelle, CEO of JISC Collections, says that this agreement will "save researchers time identifying expertise within their institutions, but provides opportunities for research and help widen access to essential sources of biomedical research. We also hope that it will encourage greater collaboration across our community through increased awareness and through the sharing of research outputs amongst institutions."

In addition to the new agreement with JISC Collections, Collexis Holdings Inc. is bringing its innovative technology to other research organisations and universities worldwide, including the Mayo Clinic Libraries; Johns Hopkins University; Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, the University of California, San Francisco; the University of South Carolina; Bristol-Myers Squibb; Lockheed Martin; World Health Organization, National Institutes of Health; and U.S. Department of Defense.

Collexis' Expert Profiling is available to all staff and students within a subscribing university or research council institution in the UK. Institutions wanting access to the service will be required to pay an annual subscription fee. For further information, please go to: http://www.jisc-collections.ac.uk/catalogue/collexis_expert.
