Worldwide access to evidence‐based mental health literature: How useful isPubMedin Anglo‐Saxon and non‐Anglo‐Saxon countries?

Abstract: The aim of this study was to verify the presence of cultural variety among the psychiatric journals available on PubMed, the major online tool for accessing literature. Data for analysis were taken from a survey of the world psychiatric journals indexed in Index Medicus 1999 (IM), the alphabetical list used by PubMed, and from the mean impact factor (IF) values of the journals. Approximately 80% of international psychiatric literature available on PubMed is published in AngloSaxon countries, especially in the … Show more

“…39 / No. 3 / 2010 En otro estudio realizado por Morlino y colaboradores (15), en el que se comparaba el número de revistas psiquiátricas anglosajonas (Estados Unidos, Canadá, Inglaterra, Irlanda y Australia) frente a las no anglosajonas indexadas a PubMed a través de Index Medicus, se mostró que de 316 revistas encontradas, 255 (80,7%) pertenecen a países anglosajones y de las cuales 114 fueron indexadas al JCR. De los países no anglosajones sólo 61 revistas (19,3%) fueron indexadas a PubMed y de éstas tan sólo 34 fueron indexadas al JCR.…”

Por lo tanto, en términos de factor de impacto, la diferencia es estadísticamente signifi cativa, si se comparan las revistas anglosajonas con las no anglosajonas (p=0,0079) (15).…”
