Female Pelvic Medicine & Reconstructive Surgery (FPMRS), the official journal of the
American Urogynecologic Society (AUGS), 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.
Indexing supports FPMRS's role as a leading resource on female pelvic floor disorders. The journal is now one of more than 5,600 journals indexed for MEDLINE, and one of the only journals devoted to the newly recognised subspecialty of Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery. Each issue of FPMRS will be fully indexed, including NLM's controlled vocabulary, the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH).
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.
