Acubriefs introduction to the TCM group

[Guest guest]

Greetings,

I have received an invitation to join the Traditional

(TCM) by Attilio D'Alberto. I am the coordinator for

Acubriefs Newsletter and the acubriefs.com website and database (

http://www.acubriefs.com/ ).

 

Acubriefs Newsletter has three objectives:

1. To provide a centralized resource for reviewing new citations on

acupuncture in English.

2. To provide annotated abstracts on citations of particular interest to

clinicians and researchers.

3. To facilitate access to citations quoted/reviewed. (Please let us

know if you have suggestions on how we might better meet these

objectives) Reviewers for articles are either members of the MARF board

or experts chosen by the board to review articles for particular medical

subjects.

Sources for citations are the same as the Medical Acupuncture Research

Foundation's (MARF) online bibliography of acupuncture at

www.acubriefs.com . The editor for the newsletter is J.K. Rotchford MD,

MPH, Past President of the Medical Acupuncture Research Foundation.

 

The Acubriefs database currently contains over 18,000 references, many

with links to abstracts and some full text articles. Approximately

150-300 current citations are added each month. These new citations may

be viewed at: http://www.acubriefs.com/newcitations.htm

The entire database may be searched (a free service) at:

http://www.acubriefs.com/search.htm

 

We will be posting the Acubriefs Newsletter to this group 4 times a

year. Readers may individually for free at:

http://mailman.olympus.net/mailman/listinfo/acubriefs and/or view the

current and archived Newsletters with lists of current citations at:

http://www.acubriefs.com/newsletter_current.htm

 

Thank you for this invitation, and I hope our website may be a useful

resource for this group.

Sincerely,

 

Peggy Albers
