Rext Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 The New England Journal of Medicine is probably the most widely known source for research in medicine- its the Science/Nature equivalent for medicine. Aside from that, each speciality in medicine has their own respective journals (e.g. Nephrology, The Canadian Journal of Cardiology, etc). Just do a quick google search for whatever you're interested in (or, if applicable, as your research supervisor to recommend some journals for background reading). EDIT: Please be aware of the fact that journal articles are a pain to read and usually presume that you have the relevant background knowledge required (the background section of journal articles are usually pretty complex). If its your first time reading a journal, I recommend you make a flow chart which includes headings such as background information, design/method, control variables, responding variables, and applications.

cheech10 Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 For General Medicine/Internal Medicine, can't go wrong with: NEJM JAMA Lancet Annals of Internal Medicine BMJ (although becoming less important over time) The NEJM review articles are generally excellent. Most universities will have online access to all of these journals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JewelLeigh Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Both the Canadian Family Physician and the American Family Physician offer excellent review articles on topics relevant to primary care. AFP is available to non-subscribers approximately 1 year after publication (thus early 2009 is now available for free) and I'm not sure about the CFP as I am a subscriber, but it's likely similar. http://www.cfp.ca/ http://www.aafp.org/online/en/home/publications/journals/afp.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
