Internet access to the medical journal literature is absorbing the attention of all relevant parties, i.e., publishers, journal vendors, librarians, commercial providers, government agencies, and end users. Journal content on the Web sites spans the range from advertising and ordering information for the print version, to table of contents and abstracts, to downloadable full text and graphics of articles. The searching parameters for systems other than MEDLINE also differ extensively with a wide variety of features and resulting retrieval. This discussion reviews a selection of providers of medical information (particularly the journal literature) on the Internet, making a comparison of what is available on Web sites and how it can be searched.
通过互联网获取医学期刊文献正吸引着所有相关方的关注，即出版商、期刊供应商、图书馆员、商业提供商、政府机构和终端用户。网站上的期刊内容涵盖范围广泛，从印刷版的广告和订购信息，到目录和摘要，再到可下载的文章全文和图表。除医学在线数据库（MEDLINE）之外的其他系统的检索参数也因具有各种各样的功能和检索结果而存在很大差异。本讨论回顾了互联网上一些医学信息（特别是期刊文献）的提供商，比较了网站上提供的内容以及检索方式。
