Journals in MDConsult

The MDConsult database provides fulltext access to over 50 major medical journals--plus the Clinics series. A journal search in MDConsult delivers results from MedLine as well as the fulltext journals available through the MDConsult database. You have the option to set the filter to display only those articles you can view in fulltext. The default search limits results to material published since 2008; material is available dating back to 1995.

Twenty-nine medical specialties are represented among the journals available on MDConsult, among them: American Family Physician, American Journal of Cardiology, American Journal of Medicine, Annals of Family Medicine, General Hospital Psychiatry, Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, and many more. Some articles will appear in MDConsult before the print issue is released; with many, however, there is a 2-3 week delay. Check out this video introduction to the journal collection from MDConsult.

NOTE: Remember, a full-fledged literature search in a medical field depends on more than just what you can find in fulltext or from the past few years. You may need to use the PubMed online database (which generally dates back to the early 1940s; some indexing goes back even further, depending on publisher decisions), or even Index Medicus (dates back over a century) to find citations to relevant articles on your topic.
