Nature Publishing reports that the four latest titles in the Nature Clinical Practice series have now been selected by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to be indexed in Medline.
Launched in November 2005, the four latest titles, Nature Clinical Practice Nephrology, Nature Clinical Practice Neurology, Nature Clinical Practice Endocrinology and Metabolism and Nature Clinical Practice Rheumatology, will now be included in Medline along with the first four titles in the series, which cover the specialist areas of oncology, cardiovascular medicine, urology and gastroenterology and hepatology.
The first four titles were launched a year previously in November 2004 and were accepted for indexing in Medline in July 2005.
The NLM uses an advisory committee, the literature selection technical review committee, composed of selected experts in the field of biomedicine, to review and recommend the journal titles NLM should index.
Nature Clinical Practice journal content that has now been indexed for Medline will not only include forthcoming articles, but also all articles which have been published in the journals since their launch, dating back to the first issue of the first volume of each journal.
Nature Clinical Practice journals deliver timely, authoritative interpretations of key research developments, translating the latest findings into clinical practice.
Content includes editorial and opinion pieces, highlights from the current literature, commentaries on the application of recent research to practical patient care, thorough reviews and in-depth case studies.
All eight of the Nature Clinical Practice journals have already been indexed for inclusion in the following abstracting and indexing resources: Embase/Excerpta Medica; ISI Web of Knowledge; Current Contents/Clinical Medicine, CINAHL and CAS (Chemical Abstracts Service).
