list is by no means exhaustive, but provides you with links to some journals
of greatest relevance to physiotherapy and evidence based practice. Not all
of the journals provide access to full-text articles, some only provide the
contents list, others allow access to abstracts. Some operate an e-mail alert

Others provide the option to pay to obtain particular articles.

Clinical EvidenceOnline access is provided free or at greatly reduced rates to developing
countries (commenced June 2002). This is part of an initiative
spearheaded by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the BMJ. Six of the
world's leading medical publishers have joined forces in a unique venture to
enable more than 100 of the poorest countries in the world to access vital
scientific information in an affordable way through the internet. The
breakthrough was announced in a press
release from the WHO in 2001. Further coverage and comment can
be seen in the BMJ.
