Human Anatomy: e-Resources

Designed to be useful and relevant, this guide will provide you with access to a range of key library and information resources to aid your studies/research in Human Anatomy

e-Journals

undefinedJournal of Anatomy publishes original papers, invited review articles and book reviews. Its main focus is to understand anatomy through an analysis of structure, function, development and evolution. Focal areas include: experimental studies, contributions based on molecular and cell biology and on the application of modern imaging techniques and papers with novel methods or synthetic perspective on an anatomical system.
undefinedThe American Journal of Physical Anthropology (AJPA) is the official journal of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists. The Journal is published monthly in three quarterly volumes. The journal welcomes for consideration manuscripts that contribute to an understanding of the evolution of members of the order Primates, with particular emphasis on human biological evolution and variation.
undefinedThe Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism
undefinedHuman Brain Mapping publishes peer-reviewed basic, clinical, technical, and theoretical research in the interdisciplinary and rapidly expanding field of human brain mapping. The journal features research derived from non-invasive brain imaging modalities used to explore the spatial and temporal organization of the neural systems supporting human behavior.

This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics, clinicians and the public worldwide.

Key Databases

Some key Heath Sciences databases and Anatomy databases are listed below:

Journal Impact Factor

Journal impactor factor is and indication of the quality of a journal. The higher the journal 'impact factor', the more important the journal. You can search for a journal's impact factor uon Google using the journal name and impact factor as keywords.

Some journal impact measures are based on the number of citing documents, and some tools also 'weight' these citations; new impact measures are emerging all the time. The best known journal measure is currently the Journal Impact Factor, generated by the Journal Citation Reports.

Note: An impact metric can only be generated if the journal is indexed by the database.
