Future Medicine Ltd., part of Future Science Group, UK, has announced that its journal Women's Health has been selected for coverage in MEDLINE. Maintained by the U.S. National Library of Medicine, MEDLINE (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online) is a premier bibliographic database containing nearly 13 million references to journal articles in life sciences.
A bimonthly, Women's Health is produced in print and online formats on a rapid publication basis, with articles subject to peer review by three independent assessors. The journal has an international expert authorship and offers review articles, primary research, editorials, technology reports, interviews, perspectives and a variety of added-value content.
Also accepted for inclusion in MEDLINE in only its second year of publication is Expert Review of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, part of the Expert Review series, which is also published under the Future Science Group banner.
The National Library of Medicine MEDLINE selection process is managed by an advisory committee, the Literature Selection Technical Review Committee. The committee is composed of authorities knowledgeable in the field of biomedicine, such as physicians, researchers, educators, editors, health science librarians and historians, to review and recommend the journal titles NLM should index. MEDLINE is searchable for free using PubMed at http://pubmed.gov.
