Initially, the site will include all of the journals' 1999 editorial material to date and all new editorial material will be posted simultaneously at the time each new issue of the journals is published.

The information will be formatted to allow users to view all information from the journals and search one, several or all of the journals using text words, author names, or related articles.  These search capabilities will provide rapid access to peer-reviewed, original research and important medical information published by JAMA and the Archives Journals.  References listed at the end of articles will be linked to full-text versions of the referenced articles available on the site.  Other referenced articles for which abstracts are available on the National Library of Medicine's database, MEDLINE, will be linked to PubMed, the public access Web site for MEDLINE.

For users who wish to create a print copy of the article, the article can either be printed directly or downloaded as a portable document format (PDF) file (for a version of the article that appears just as it does in print in the journal).

"Providing JAMA and the Archives Journals online and full text in a fully searchable format will provide physicians and other health care professionals with rapid access to the information they need to help them care for patients," according to Margaret Winker, MD, Deputy Editor of JAMA and Director of the Division of Scientific Online Resources.  "The explosion of medical information and the great interest patients have in learning about medical issues make such access vitally important to the practice of medicine today." 

Initially, the site will include all of the journals' 1999 editorial material to date and all new editorial material
will be posted simultaneously at the time each new issue of the journals is published.  Full text for all material from the journals for 1998 will be added over the coming months.
