Survey of European pharmaceutical journals in circulation in 1993.
Journals represent a very important source of information to pharmacists. This survey aimed to list current European pharmaceutical journals with their main characteristics. First, we provide a working definition of "European pharmaceutical journal". Then, the methodology and our sources which included books, databases, and questionnaires are reported. The following section details the results of the survey: journal creation for the period 1930 to 1993, geographic distribution, characteristics of the different types of journals (scientific, professional, scientific and professional/educational journals), inclusion in international bibliographic indexes. Finally, the list of the European pharmaceutical journals with their main characteristics and the list of the independent European pharmaceutical journals are reported in Appendix.
