Philadelphia, PA, July 8, 2009 Elsevier, a world-leading publisher of scientific, technical and medical information products and services, is pleased to announce that PM&R -The journal of injury, function and rehabilitation (www.pmrjournal.org), the official scientific journal of the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (AAPM&R), has been accepted for coverage by MEDLINE, just six months after its launch in January 2009.
Under the guidance of Editor-in-Chief Stuart M. Weinstein, MD, Clinical Professor of Rehabilitation Medicine at the University of Washington, Seattle, and an internationally renowned Editorial Board, this monthly, peer-reviewed, scholarly publication has a clinical focus, presenting an array of topics pertinent to physiatrists (rehabilitation medicine physicians), to those in other related medical disciplines, as well as to a wider international readership.
"It is particularly gratifying that a fledgling journal such as PM&R has already been recognized for its contribution to the advancement of physical medicine and rehabilitation," commented Dr. Weinstein. "Working in close partnership with the AAPM&R it is our goal to raise the scientific bar and build bridges between practitioners and researchers across this multidisciplinary field. I am thankful to the entire editorial and publishing team who have committed to the success of this journal."
MEDLINE abstracting and indexing of PM&R will start as soon as possible and will be retroactive to Volume 1/Issue 1. MEDLINE is the U.S. National Library of Medicine's premier bibliographic database containing over 16 million references to journal articles in life sciences with a concentration on biomedicine. PM&R was evaluated and selected for inclusion based on a stringent review process conducted by the Literature Selection Technical Review Committee, an NIH-chartered advisory committee
