Abstract:
A survey was done of the serials from the countries/areas in the Han-character-using sphere that are indexed in MEDLINE, the global medical data base created by National Library of Medicine of the United States of America. One hundred eighty serials were found to be from eight different countries/areas, which are, in alphabetical order: China (32 periodicals), Hong Kong (2), Japan (124), Republic of Korea (6), Malaysia (2), Singapore (4), Taiwan (8) and Thailand (3). Of these, 28 of the serials from China are in the Chinese language (88%), 66 of the Japanese serials are in Japanese (53%), one of the serials from Republic of Korea is in Korean (17%) and five of the serials from Taiwan are in Chinese (63%). As for traditional medical serials only China had three such publications. In order to correctly transmit the Oriental Medicine of Japan, efforts are needed to have this serials, Nihon Toyo Igaku Zasshi (Japanese Journal of Oriental Medicine), indexed in MEDLINE.
