Microsoft has launched a beta version of Windows Live Academic Search ? a tool designed to help students, researchers and universities conduct research across a wide range of academic journals.
The program is an effort between Windows Live Search, industry association CrossRef, and more than 10 leading publishers.
The first stage of Windows Live Academic Search will target the areas of computer science, electrical engineering and physics.
?Windows Live Academic Search is just the beginning of our on-going commitment to the academic community and is another example of our continued efforts to expand our search offerings into new categories,? said Danielle Tiedt, general manager of Windows Live Premium Search.
The beta service will be available today with English versions in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Spain, Japan, and Australia. Additional markets and content will be added throughout the beta period.
