Acubriefs Newsletter has three objectives:
1. To provide a centralized resource for reviewing new citations on acupuncture in English.
2. To provide annotated abstracts on citations of particular interest to clinicians and researchers.
3. To facilitate access to citations quoted/reviewed. (Please let us know if you have suggestions on how we might better meet these objectives)
Reviewers for articles are either members of the MARF board or experts chosen by the board to review articles for particular medical subjects.
