Journals publishing research relevant to stroke rehabilitation.
The purpose of this brief article is to provide a list of core journals relevant to stroke rehabilitation and to indicate the adequacy of five bibliographic indexing services in covering them. Citation analysis yielded a list of 30 core journals. No indexing service's data base included all of the 28 journals used in evaluating comprehensiveness. All services except the Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health, however, included over 71% of the journals. To be completely comprehensive in journal coverage, any pair of indexes had to include AMED/ CATS. The all too common reliance on Index Medicus/Medline will result in a relatively thorough but clearly incomplete search.
