Cardiovascular diseases not a conventional journal, but an analysis of Web resources Spanish Journals in MEDLINE not covered by IME nor by IBECS

  14. Journal IME IBECS Anales Otorrinolaringológicos Iberoamericanos X Gastroenterología y Hepatología X International Journal of Developmental Biology X International Microbiology X Journal of Physiology and Biochemistry X Nefrología X Revista de Derecho y Genoma Humano X Revista Iberoamericana de Micología X Spanish Journals in MEDLINE but not covered by IME or by IBECS

  15. Embase Spanish journals not covered by both IME and IBECS IME 22 IBECS 7 Embase 52

  16. Spanish Journals in EMBASE but not in IME and IBECS • 7 discontinued journals • 7 journals without spanish abstract • 1 which is no longer published in Spain • 1 corresponds to an electronic site which gathers information from different medical webs • 1 is duplicated under two different names

  17. Spanish Journals in EMBASE that should be included in IME and IBECS Anuario de Psicología Cuadernos de Artroscopia  Cuadernos de Medicina Reproductiva  Ginecología Clínica y Quirúrgica  Química Clínica  Revista de Psicogeriatría

  18. Conclusions Similar selection criteria in Medline and Embase  Geographical bias  Embase’s journal list not actualized  Similar selection criteria in IME and IBECS  Spanish journals included in Medline or Embase should be included in IME and IBECS  The differences between IME and IBECS seems due to agreement problems with the publishers, more than to different quality requirements
