The Journal of Addiction Medicine (JAM), the official journal of the American Society of Addiction Medicine, has been selected for indexing in MEDLINE, the US National Library of Medicine's (NLM) premier bibliographic database. The journal is published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, a part of Wolters Kluwer Health.
MEDLINE is the leading tool for online searching of the health sciences literature in the US and worldwide. Journal of Addiction Medicine becomes one of nearly 5,000 journals currently indexed for MEDLINE and one of a handful of indexed publications in the field of addiction medicine.
Journals are selected for indexing in MEDLINE after careful review by the NLM's Literature Selection Technical Review Committee, based on issues such as the journal's scope and coverage and the quality of its scientific content and editorial work. Of the hundreds of journals considered each year, only 20 to 25 percent are accepted for indexing. Healthcare professionals and the members of the public can freely access MEDLINE at www.pubmed.gov.
Each issue of Journal of Addiction Medicine will be fully indexed, including NLM's controlled vocabulary, the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH). The journal will be indexed retroactively to volume 1, issue 1.
Now in its fifth year of publication, Journal of Addiction Medicine has rapidly become an essential resource for physicians and all health professionals involved in the treatment of addiction-related disorders.
