Acubriefs Newsletter has three objectives:
1. To provide a centralized resource for reviewing new citations
on acupuncture. Citations in the English literature are initially
the primary focus.
2. To provide annotated abstracts on citations of particular interest
to clinicians and researchers.
3. To facilitate access to citations quoted/reviewed.
Sources for citations are the same as the Medical Acupuncture
Research Foundation's (MARF) online bibliography of acupuncture.
The editor for the newsletter is J.K. Rotchford MD MPH, President
of the Medical
Acupuncture Research Foundation.
Reviewers for articles are either members of the MARF board or
experts chosen by the board to review articles for particular medical
subjects or specialized areas of acupuncture.
Subscription to the newsletter is free but does requires that
you provide us with some identifying data. www.acubriefs.com/newsletter.htm
We expect subscriber's to have e-mail software and preferable a
browser which allows one to view cited links.
Current References:
In the future this section will include all new entries that we
make into MARF's database that are relatively current. For this
issue we are only including only those provided during the month
of October, 2000 by the British Medical Journal's update service
which covers Medline through Pub Med and the British Medical Journal.
In the future we will also include links to sources whenever possible.
