We are delighted to announce that Cambridge University now has access to the highly in-demand Springer Biomedical and Life Sciences Reference module (2001-2024), complementing our existing access to selected annual Springer Biomedical and Life Science ebook collections. Records for all available reference works are now in iDiscover. Cambridge users can also access the collection via the "Springer Biomedical & Life Sciences reference collection 2001-2024" entry in the A-Z Databases.
This newly available collection comprises over 160 Biomedical and Life Sciences reference titles, including encyclopedias, handbooks, dictionaries and atlases, which provide a great starting resource for any topic-based research. Each reference entry links to its primary and secondary sources, allowing researchers to trace the information trail and further enrich their understanding and knowledge.
Many titles in the collection are also available as living reference works, which are "online first, real-time snapshots (article collections) of a reference work which is in development or is being updated" and provide "the latest and most up-to-date content well in advance of the final printed work."
The living reference works are fully discoverable and citable with their own unique DOI, and updates undergo a rigorous editorial process before they are accepted for publication on the Springer Nature platform.
Two separate entries for the the reference work Spider Venoms: the static first edition published in 2016, and the updating living edition.
The Biomedical and Life Sciences reference collection is written and curated by internationally renowned and award-winning experts. It will be of interest to many core STEMM disciplines and areas of research, including:
- Neuroscience
- Pharmacology
- Toxicology/Toxinology
- Cancer Research
- Microbiology/Bacteriology
- Cell Biology
- Bioengineering/Biotechnology

Some of the high impact titles available in this collection include:
The Encyclopedia of Molecular Pharmacology (3rd Edition)
The Encyclopedia of Molecular Pharmacology (3rd Edition) is a fully updated version of a classic in the field. It combines the knowledge of classic pharmacology with the more recent approach of the precise analysis of the molecular mechanisms by which drugs exert their effects.
The Encyclopedia of Social Insects
The Encyclopedia of Social Insects is a comprehensive treatise on the social insects of the world and is a project of the International Union for the Study of Social Insects (IUSSI).
Encyclopedia of Systems Biology
The Encyclopedia of Systems Biology is conceived as a comprehensive reference work covering all aspects of systems biology, in particular the investigation of living matter involving a tight coupling of biological experimentation, mathematical modeling and computational analysis and simulation.
