10. Journal: Indexing A proxy for a given journal’s quality PubMed searches: 1.MEDLINE indexed journals National Library of Medicine ® (NLM ® ) journal citation database including over 5,600 journals 2.PubMed Central A free archive of biomedical and life sciences journal literature at the NLM 3.NCBI Bookshelf NLM books http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/factsheets/dif_med_pub.html

11. Journal: Indexing Google Scholar If you're an individual author, it works best to simply upload your paper to your website, e.g., www.example.edu/~professor/jpdr2009.pdf; and add a link to it on your publications page, such as www.example.edu/~professor/publications.html. Make sure that: – the full text of your paper is in a PDF file that ends with ".pdf", – the title of the paper appears in a large font on top of the first page, – the authors of the paper are listed right below the title on a separate line, and – there's a bibliography section titled, e.g., "References" or "Bibliography" at the end. That's it! Our search robots should normally find your paper and include it in Google Scholar within several weeks. If it doesn't work, you could either (1) read more detailed technical guidelines in this documentation or (2) check if your local institutional repository is already configured for indexing in Google Scholar, and upload your papers there. http://scholar.google.com/intl/en/scholar/inclusion.html
