The American Medical Association has digitized the entire archive of JAMA & Archives journals. The JAMA & Archives Backfiles are a singularly rich, full-text digital resource that includes every issue of JAMA and the specialty Archives Journals dating back to the first issue of JAMA published in July 1883.
Fully integrated into the JAMA & Archives web sites, the Backfiles deliver more than 1.7 million pages—every article, every image—into the digital age. Each article has been carefully scanned and digitally optimized, allowing readers to explore the Backfiles using sophisticated searches and a host of additional online research tools. Pivotal articles, such as the original Blalock-Taussig operation and Sabin’s and Salk’s polio vaccine, as well as thousands of archival images and even advertisements, are a few clicks away.
“For the past 126 years JAMA & the Archives Journals have played a pivotal role in the development of medical research, care, and public health,” said Catherine D. DeAngelis, M.D., M.P.H., editor in chief of JAMA & Archives Journals, “and making this resource available online will shed light on the amazing achievements of our predecessors and the lessons we can learn about the science and art of medicine today.”
Readers can view, download, store for personal use, and e-mail links to print-quality PDF files; receive citation and topic alerts; and link directly to an array of social bookmarking sites. For each article, the references, which can be downloaded separately, offer free linking to thousands of citations in other archival content on the HighWire Press platform.
Links to every issue are now available on the Past Issues page of each journal’s web site. Publications included in the Backfiles include: JAMA (from 1883), Archives of Dermatology (from 1920), Archives of Family Medicine (1992-2000), Archives of Neurology & Psychiatry (1919 to 1959), Archives of General Psychiatry (from 1959), Archives of Neurology (from 1959), Archives of Internal Medicine (from 1908), Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine (formerly American Journal of Diseases of Children) (from 1911), Archives of Ophthalmology (from 1929), Archives of Otolaryngology—Head & Neck Surgery (from 1925), and Archives of Surgery (from 1920). The Backfiles are available on an individual article basis or as an institutional site licence.
