Trials accepted for MEDLINE indexing
Following a review by the Literature Selection Technical Review Committee, Trials is now indexed in MEDLINE, the National Library of Medicine's premier bibliographic database.
The inclusion of the journal in MEDLINE, in addition to databases already indexing the journal - including PubMed - indicates the growing prominence and reputation of Trials, and is a strong endorsement of the journal's success to date.
