Abstract

Abstract

A brief summary or description of the essential content from the source document.

English-language abstracts are taken directly from the published article. If the article does not have a published abstract, the National Library of Medicine does not create one. Generally, there are no abstracts for records created before 1975. All abstracts are in English. Because data entry policies at NLM have changed over the years, abstracts in records created before 2001 may be truncated, in which case one of the following phrases may appear at the end of the text enclosed in parentheses.

ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS
ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS
ABSTRACT TRUNCATED

A list of possible values is available in PubMed help at: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/grant_acronym.html.

Note: Although NLM enters the grant number, the acronym and agency values are derived by using a machine algorithm against the grant number. This may result in some inaccurate derivations, but the overall benefit of supplying the separate acronym and agency was considered to be worth the risk of some inaccuracies.

Journal Information

Table of Contents: Current Content Connect®

This field contains a link to the Current Contents Connect® Browse Journals page where you can browse the table of contents of journals and books covered by the editions and collections to which you subscribe in Current Contents Connect.

Performance Trends: Essential Science Indicators^SM

This field contains a link to Essential Science Indicators where you can perform in-depth analysis to find data for ranking scientists, institutions, countries, and journals. With Essential Science Indicators, you can:

• Explore science performance statistics and science trends data, based on journal article publication counts and citation data
• Determine research output and impact in specific fields of research
• Evaluate potential employees, collaborators, reviewers, and peers

Impact Factor: Journal Citation Reports®

The Journal Impact Factor is defined as all citations to the journal in the current JCR year to items published in the previous two years, divided by the total number of scholarly items (these comprise articles, reviews, and proceedings papers) published in the journal in the previous two years.

Though not a strict mathematical average, the Journal Impact Factor provides a functional approximation of the mean citation rate per citable item.  A Journal Impact Factor of 1.0 means that, on average, the articles published one or two years ago have been cited one time.  A Journal Impact Factor of 2.5 means that, on average, the articles published one or two years ago have been cited two and a half times.  The citing works may be articles published in the same journal.  However, most citing works are from different journals, proceedings, or books indexed in Web of Science Core Collection.
