PubMed's core clinical journals filter: redesigned for contemporary clinical impact and utility.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The Core Clinical Journals (CCJ) list, produced by the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM), has been used by clinicians and librarians for half a century for two main purposes: narrowing a literature search to clinically useful journals and identifying high priority titles for library collections. After documentation of low usage of the existing CCJ, a review was undertaken to assess current validity, followed by an update to current clinical needs.

Methods

To determine whether clinical subjects had changed over the last half-century, the committee collected data on journal usage in hospital
