Journals
Oceania University of Medicine publishes the Samoa Journal of Medicine online. This is a valuable resource for medical practitioners in the Pacific region and serves in part as a vehicle for publishing medical research undertaken by OUM staff and students.
Other examples of high quality journal literature can be found freely on the internet. As examples here are links to the flagship journals of some country's medical associations
1. British Medical Journal
The BMJ publishes all articles online first, before they are found in the print version. Every BMJ article published since the journal’s first issue in October 1840 is available online from bmj.com. All BMJ research articles are openly accessible to all online and, on PubMed Central, all non-research articles from 1840 until April 2006 are also available free, without registration.
