Evaluate the course of the International Congress(es) on Circumpolar Health (ICCH) and the Circumpolar movement in the context of concomitant historical events. Make recommendations for future Circumpolar health research.
MEDLINE search and historical archive search of ICCH proceedings.
Search of all PubMed resources from 1966 concerning the Circumpolar health movement. Two University of Alaska Anchorage archive collections were searched: the C. E. Albrecht and Frank Pauls Archive Collections.
Eleven sets of proceedings manuscripts and one set of proceedings abstracts were evaluated. There was a trend toward consistent use of existing journals with indexing in Index Medicus; shorter intervals between the Congress and proceedings manuscript publication; and increased online availability of either the table of contents or proceedings citations. Recent additions include online publication of full length manuscripts and two instances of full peer review evaluations of the proceedings manuscripts. These trends in proceedings publication are described within the course of significant events in the Circumpolar health movement.
There has been a trend toward more rapid dissemination of scientific content, more analytic documentation of epidemiologic study design, and a trend toward wider dissemination of scientific content through the Internet. Significant progress in each of those areas is still possible and desirable.
在相关历史事件的背景下评估国际极地健康大会（ICCH）的发展历程以及极地运动情况。为未来的极地健康研究提出建议。
对ICCH会议记录进行医学文献数据库（MEDLINE）检索和历史档案检索。
检索1966年以来所有关于极地健康运动的PubMed资源。对阿拉斯加大学安克雷奇分校的两个档案馆藏进行了检索：C.E. 阿尔布雷希特档案馆藏和弗兰克·保尔斯档案馆藏。
对11套会议记录手稿和1套会议记录摘要进行了评估。呈现出以下趋势：持续使用被《医学索引》收录的现有期刊；大会与会议记录手稿发表之间的间隔缩短；会议目录或会议记录引用的在线获取量增加。近期的新变化包括全文手稿的在线发表以及两次对会议记录手稿的全面同行评审评估。这些会议记录发表方面的趋势在极地健康运动的重大事件过程中得到了描述。
出现了科学内容传播更快、流行病学研究设计的分析性文献记录更多以及通过互联网更广泛传播科学内容的趋势。在这些领域中的每一个领域仍有可能且有必要取得重大进展。
