Industrial plants are both dangerous and difficult to gain access to. The virtual paper mill developed by Yale serves as a substitute for student field trips. The paper mill was built to accurately recreate scale & detail. Each machine and stage of the process is accurately modeled, throughout the build are clickable web links to a purpose-built website where additional information is presented in a more appropriate forms.

The Numdam website (Numérisation de documents anciens mathématiques) offers open access to the metadata and articles published in French mathematical journals. For each journal title, all volumes published up to 2000 have been digitised. To date, 560 000 digitised pages and 27 000 articles are available. Articles are available online after a period of time called a moving wall. During this period (generally 5 years), they are available to journal subscribers only. To see which journals are available click on Collections where you will also see the time span covered.

The New Science Journalism Project (NSJ) is a new independent online environmental science magazine publishing news produced by students of media and science courses worldwide. The magazine itself is intended for everyone interested in environmental science news. The bottom line is to foster a space for professional communication of environmental science news in order to encourage the dissemination of valuable and researched environmental scientific information. Project is a global platform for university students to refine their science news publishing experience, to register and submit news.
