BMJ Journals Online Archive

BMJ Journals are pleased to announce that the online archive of five of its specialist titles is now available, hosted by Stanford University's HighWire Press.

The complete back archives of Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, Journal of Clinical Pathology, Heart, Gut, and British Journal of Ophthalmology, have now been released, right back to volume 1, issue 1.  All content older than 12 months is available to subscribers and registered users until 31 December 2008.

Release of these archives is part of a phased programme by the BMJ Group to make the archive content of all the BMJ Group’s 23 specialist medical titles available online. The remaining titles covering over 3,000 issues will follow over the coming months - one-time registration will allow non-subscribers to access all of this valuable content. (Recent content, less than 12 months old, is available only to subscribers).

BMJ Group thanks the US National Library of Medicine who digitised the archive content free of charge - in return, articles from these journals will be published on PubMedCentral (with a three year embargo).
