Exciting things happening in the digital space

摘要

Australian Prescriber is confirming its place as a trusted source of independent information by meeting the new standards of scholarly publication. We are pleased to announce that Australian Prescriber has been accepted for inclusion in PubMed Central -a free archive of full-text biomedical and life sciences journal articles, hosted by the US National Library of Medicine. Starting from this issue (Volume 39, Number 1), all articles will be available through PubMed Central within a month. Back issues of Australian Prescriber will also be added over time. Inclusion in PubMed Central is a significant milestone for Australian Prescriber. Readers will now be able to search for and access Australian Prescriber articles through PubMed - the database of choice for researching medical literature. Other developments include the assignment of digital object identifiers (DOIs) to all articles in Australian Prescriber'through CrossRef. DOIs are links that preserve the scholarly citation record. In addition to displaying our own DOIs, we will include the DOI of each of the cited references if they have one. This will make it easier for our readers to link directly to other relevant articles.
