UpToDate Topic Review

Last month we introduced UpToDate, a clinical resource now available from three workstations on campus. This database includes original, regularly updated, topic reviews. For an explanation of the format and scope of these current and authoritative documents, see Features of an UpToDate Topic Review from the publisher's website.

Citing online resources can be tricky. Here are the guidelines, from the UpToDate User's Manual, for citing topic reviews:

Cite the UpToDate topic review as a chapter in a book titled UpToDate, edited by Burton D. Rose, published by UpToDate in Wellesley, MA. As a CD-ROM or online service, there are no page numbers to cite. Since UpToDate is released every four months, each topic review will appear (i.e., be published) in each release we issue, so the publication year for any topic review should be the current year.

For example:
Marion, DW. Diaphragmatic pacing. In: UpToDate, Rose, BD (Ed), UpToDate, Wellesley, MA, 2002.*
