Lawrenceville, N.J. n MDAdvantage is proud to announce that MDAdvisor: A
Journal for the New Jersey Medical Community has been selected by the National Library of Medicine to be indexed in MEDLINE®.
MEDLINE® is the largest component of PubMed® (http://pubmed.gov/), the freely accessible online database of biomedical journal citations and abstracts created by the U.S. National Library of Medicine. Approximately 5,400 journals published in the United States and more than 80 other countries have been selected and are currently indexed for MEDLINE®.
The National Library of Medicine uses an NIH-chartered committee, the Literature Selection Technical Review Committee (LSTRC), to review all new biomedical and health journal titles and recommend those to be indexed for MEDLINE®. Overall, only 20% – 25% of the titles reviewed are selected for indexing.
“This news is extremely gratifying and underscores the hard work and dedication of the publishing staff and Editorial Board members as well as the contributions of our many distinguished authors, said Henry H. Sherk, MD, MDAdvisor’s Editor-in-Chief. “Inclusion in this prominent database signals recognition of the Journal’s scientific merit and contributions to the field of medical publishing. But more importantly, MEDLINE indexing will help researchers, healthcare practitioners, educators, administrators and students throughout the world locate articles published
in MDAdvisor.”
Patricia A. Costante, Chairman and CEO of MDAdvantage, commented “This is an important milestone for MDAdvantage and for MDAdvisor. The accomplishment ties directly to the Journal’s goal of educating the healthcare community— in New Jersey and around the globe."
Future articles as well as those that have been published since the first issue in 2008 will be indexed. Citations from the articles indexed, indexing terms and the abstracts will be included and searchable using PubMed. By being selected for indexing, MDAdvisor will be available to health professionals for many years.
