The Library has begun a trial to BMJ Case Reports that will continue until October 2009.
BMJ Case Reports is a peer-reviewed collection of cases in all disciplines. It includes common and rare conditions, and has more than 1000 articles from over 55 countries. The aim is to publish cases so that healthcare professionals and researchers can easily find clinically important information on common and rare conditions. Case reports published in other BMJ Journals will also be adapted for publication.
"The challenge of medicine is not only in managing the routine and well researched, but in recognising the strange... It is the minority of cases, that are not what they seem, that present the greatest challenge and risk."
"Case reports stimulate learning and research. As a time-honoured tradition of medicine they are capable of developing new subject areas, providing educational material and are among the most read content in journals. Case reports are very sensitive for detecting novelty which is useful in recognising new diseases as well as new side effects of drugs, both adverse and beneficial."
