ACP
Journal Club
ACP from the American College of Physicians consists of two journals ACP Journal Club, a publication of the American College of Physicians, and Evidence-Based Medicine, a joint publication with the British Medical Journal Group. The editors of ACP Journal Club screen the top clinical journals on a regular basis and identify studies that are both methodologically sound and clinically relevant. They write an enhanced abstract of the chosen articles and provide a commentary on the value of the article for clinical practice. Using this source, clinicians can quickly understand and apply to their practice important changes in medical knowledge, without having to read and synthesize for themselves thousands of journal articles.

Cochrane Controlled Trials Register
(CCTR) Via Ovid
CCTR contains over than 300,000 bibliographic references to controlled trials in health care. Cochrane groups and other organizations contribute their specialized registers; and these registers together with references to clinical trials identified in MEDLINE and EMBASE form the CCTR database. of definitive controlled trials. These controlled trials have been identified by the distinguished contributors to the Cochrane Collaboration. They and others, as part of an international effort to search the world's health care journals (and other sources of information) systematically, have combined results to create an unbiased source of data for systematic reviews.
CCTR includes reports published in conference proceedings and in many other sources not currently listed in MEDLINE or other bibliographic databases.

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews
(CDSR)
Via Ovid
Contains reviews of current medical research. The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (CDSR) includes the full text, as well as protocols, of the regularly updated systematic reviews of the effects of healthcare prepared by The Cochrane Collaboration. The reviews are presented in two types:
- Complete reviews- Regularly updated Cochrane Reviews, prepared and maintained by Collaborative Review Groups
- Protocols- Protocols for reviews currently being prepared (all include an expected date of completion). Protocols are the background, objectives and methods of reviews in preparation.
Each issue of CDSR contains new and updated reviews and protocols. CDSR is unlike other "journal" or "serial" publications in that once a review is published it will appear in every issue thereafter. Because of this, each Review or Protocol includes a section about how to cite that document if needed.
