Clinicians can derive immense satisfaction from keeping abreast of new developments in patient care by regularly scanning the medical journal literature. Combined with good reading habits and self-discipline, this scanning generally can be accomplished within the time that most practitioners allot to attempting to keep up to date. We describe tactics for formulating a personalized journal-reading list and ensuring access to the key articles in one's field at a reasonable cost. These tactics begin with deleting low-yield journals from regular reading and adding journals more relevant to one's interests. The cost of multiple journal subscriptions can be reduced by circulating different journals among colleagues or by regular visits to the library. These tactics can be supplemented or replaced by using Current Contents or the Selective Dissemination of Information service of the National Library of Medicine and other database vendors.
临床医生可以通过定期浏览医学期刊文献来了解患者护理方面的新进展，从而获得极大的满足感。结合良好的阅读习惯和自律，这种浏览通常可以在大多数从业者用于尝试跟上最新进展的时间内完成。我们描述了制定个性化期刊阅读清单并以合理成本获取某一领域关键文章的策略。这些策略首先是从常规阅读中删除低产期刊，并添加与个人兴趣更相关的期刊。通过在同事之间传阅不同的期刊或定期去图书馆，可以降低订阅多种期刊的成本。可以使用《现刊目次》或美国国立医学图书馆及其他数据库供应商的定题情报提供服务来补充或替代这些策略。
