Corpora: Corpora of scientific texts

I was wondering whether anyone in this list has any information about the
creation of a corpus of scholarly scientific articles written in English. I
am well aware that the Cobuild Bank of English includes a science subcorpus
but this is drawn from the New Scientist magazine. The texts are what might
loosely be termed 'popular science'.

What I am after is a corpus of journal papers in the physical, chemical,
biological or medical sciences. I'd be most grateful to hear from anyone
with information about such a corpus.

Best wishes,
