<title>INTRODUCTION</title>
<p>Medical Informatics is the science that studies the laws of creation, transmission, processing and use information, data and knowledge to solve medical problems (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R1">1</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R2">2</xref>
). Medical Informatics is now accepted as the basic medical science (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R2">2</xref>
). The analogy with the other basic sciences is recognized in the use of previous experience and results, to structuring and encoding of subjective and objective medical findings, which makes them suitable for analysis, integration and further use (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R1">1</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R2">2</xref>
).</p>
<p>Information is the set of messages, data and knowledge that form the basis for decision making, then the medical information is the set of messages, data and knowledge needed to solve medical problems (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R1">1</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R2">2</xref>
). Health care is perhaps, unique example of the relationship of medical data and the very different levels of information complexity (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R2">2</xref>
).</p>
<p>Medical information is usually classified according to content, meaning and place of origin, to: a) Primary (elementary); b) Secondary (operational); c) Tertiary (professional and scientific) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R1">1</xref>
). Generating information, any type, involves the operation of data processing, algorithm definition and selection of some of the methods for data processing. Data processing consists of various operations with the data of which are elementary: gathering, checking, sorting, editing, grouping, computing, storage, retrieval, copying and transferring (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R1">1</xref>
). To produce information with a set of operations, is necessary to determine their choice and order of execution, which will be the final number of steps lead to solution-algorithm (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R2">2</xref>
).</p>

<sec><label>2.</label>
<title>SOURCES OF SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS</title>
<p>The source of scientific and technical information can only be man - scientist, or expert whose scientific and professional work is creating knowledge about something (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R1">1</xref>
). As information providers he creates documents that represent the materialized for of those informations.</p>
<p>The primary publications is the document that contains text with the primary informations in its original form, as they were prepared by the author. They can be roughly divided into: Magazines or Monographs (books, thesis, atlases, specialist papers, etc.) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R2">2</xref>
).</p>
<p>According to the matter which they cover, biomedical journals are divided into four groups (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R1">1</xref>
):
<list list-type="bullet"><list-item><p>Narrowly specialized journals - processed material from the immediate area or a particular speciality. They are usually oriented to a segment of medicine, only rarely to an organ or disease. These magazines are mostly archival type, carefully prepared, rigorously reviewed and have high scientific value.</p>
</list-item>
<list-item><p>General biomedical journals - are intended as a broad range users, and generally treat the broad issues in the field of biomedical and life sciences. Some of these journals publish important original articles from the different specialty with data of greater interest to the medical public.</p>
</list-item>
<list-item><p>Classic magazines - treat the problem from only one of the biomedical field. Published once a month and are considered the predecessor of the first magazine.</p>
</list-item>
<list-item><p>The primary scientific journals - part of scientific literature and main source of scientific information. These are serial in which the first published results of original research and review scientific articles.</p>
</list-item>
</list>
</p>
<p>A new era of compute science, allows scientists and experts from all fields of biomedical sciences, publishing their work in electronic form. Databases are the perfect and easy access for professionals, and also for the students, to all relevant informations, either for their work or research. Whether it is a full-text or abstract form, every serious editorial has it’s place in the databases.</p>
</sec>
<sec><label>3.</label>
<title>REVIEW OF MOST IMPORTANT BIOMEDICAL DATABASES</title>
<p>The database system is an organized set of data. It is consist of a records, identically defined and desribed. Each scientific paper is record in data written by rules recommended by several scientific associations and committees (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R1">1</xref>
-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R13">13</xref>
). Databases can contain information about the author (including bibliographic data and abstract) and the original work. Data set determines the type of base. The databases are processed best professional journals and publications, and the reliability and quality of information guarantees producers of databases. Most important databases are located in famous university/academic centers, like: Bethesda (NLM), Philadelphia (ISI), Amsterdam (Elsevier), Ipswitch (EBSCO), Geneva (WHO), Moscow (RAS), Shiraz (ISC), Warsaw (IC), etc. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R14">14</xref>
-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R30">30</xref>
).</p>
<p>For all the databases are the same basic information: author (by name); title; magazine which is published; year of publication (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R1">1</xref>
).</p>
<p>Generally, we can divide them into three categories (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R1">1</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R2">2</xref>
):
<list list-type="alpha-lower"><list-item><p>Bibliographic database</p>
<p>Contents bibliographic database refers to papers published in various journals and publications. They contain information such as author, title, source, abstract, year of publication, the institution from which the author comes, publication type, the original language of bibliographic databases, etc. Bibliographic database can vary depending on the area, scope and structure of bibliographic records that enable, a description of the works are very detailed and uniform. These databases are linked with other databases and the original version of published works (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R1">1</xref>
).</p>
</list-item>
<list-item><p>Citation database</p>
<p>Citation database are also bibliographic databases. Since bibliographic databases differ in addition to the work themselves, processed and used references, the above quote by the author, at the end of work. With them we learn how the works are quoted and used to assess the quality of the cited work and estimated the impact of individual works by specifying the number of citations (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R1">1</xref>
).</p>
</list-item>
<list-item><p>Full text databases</p>
<p>These are mainly collections of journals in electronic form, one or more publishers. Contains bibliographic information (as well as bibliographic databases), and numerous other data. It should be alert to the difference between databases with full text to the bibliographic, which have only indicated a connection (link) with the full text bases. Full text databases usually offered in HTML and/or PDF format (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R1">1</xref>
).</p>

, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R14">14</xref>
). Cover-to-cover, expert indexing provides accurate access to all the information available in journals, not just articles.</p>
<p>The web version, <italic>Current Contents</italic>
Connect ®, is part of the <italic>Web of Knowledge</italic>
integrated solution, and offers daily updates and data from evaluated websites and documents.</p>
<p>Current Contents was first published in paper format, in a single edition devoted only to biology and medicine. Other subject editions were added later. Initially, it consisted simply of a reproduction of the title pages from several hundred major peer-reviewed scientific journals, and was published weekly, with the issues containing title pages from journal issues only a few weeks previously, a shorter time lag than any service then available. There was an author index and a crude keyword subject index only. Author addresses were provided so readers could send reprint requests for copies of the actual articles.</p>
<p>Still published in print, it is presently available as one of the databases included in Thomson’s ISI Web of Knowledge with daily updates, and also through other database aggregators.</p>

<p>(Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">4</xref>
) Web of Science is an online academic citation index provided by Thomson Reuters: It is designed for providing access to multiple databases, cross-disciplinary research, and in-depth exploration of specialized subfields within an academic or scientific discipline (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R13">13</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R14">14</xref>
). As a citation index, any cited paper will lead to any other literature (book, academic journal, proceedings, etc.) which currently, or in the past, cites this work. In addition, literature which shows the greatest impact in a field covered by Web of Science, or more than one discipline, can be selectively obtained. For example, a paper’s influence can be determined by linking to all the papers that have cited it. In this way, current trends, patterns, and emerging fields of research can be assessed. Web of Science has indexing coverage from the year 1900 to the present.</p>
<p><italic>Web of Science</italic>
® provides researchers, administrators, faculty, and students with quick, powerful access to the world’s leading citation databases. Authoritative, multidisciplinary content covers over 12,000 of the highest impact journals worldwide, including Open Access journals and over 150,000 conference proceedings. You’ll find current and retrospective coverage in the sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities, with coverage to 1900.</p>
<p>Titles of foreign-language publications are translated into English and so cannot be found by searches in the original language.</p>
<p>The following types of literature are indexed: peer reviewed journals, original research articles, reviews, editorials, chronologies, abstracts, as well as other areas. Disciplines included in this index are agriculture, biological sciences, engineering, medical and life sciences, physical and chemical sciences, anthropology, law, library sciences, architecture, dance, music, film, and theater. Six citation databases encompasses coverage of the above disciplines.</p>
<p>Web of Science has six available databases:

<title>MEDLINE</title>
<p>(<uri xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/factsheets/medline.html">http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/factsheets/medline.html</uri>
)</p>
<p>(Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F6">6</xref>
) MEDLINE is the U.S. National Library of Medicine’s® (NLM) premier bibliographic database that contains over 19 million references to journal articles in life sciences with a concentration on biomedicine (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R16">16</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R17">17</xref>
). A distinctive feature of MEDLINE is that the records are indexed with NLM Medical Subject Headings (MeSH®).</p>
<p>The great majority of journals are selected for MEDLINE based on the recommendation of the Literature Selection Technical Review Committee (LSTRC), an NIH-chartered advisory committee of external experts analogous to the committees that review NIH grant applications. Some additional journals and newsletters are selected based on NLMinitiated reviews, e.g., history of medicine, health services research, AIDS, toxicology and environmental health, molecular biology, and complementary medicine, that are special priorities for NLM or other NIH components. These reviews generally also involve consultation with an array of NIH and outside experts or, in some cases, external organizations with which NLM has special collaborative arrangements.</p>
<p>MEDLINE is the primary component of PubMed®, part of the Entrez series of databases provided by the NLM National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).</p>
<p>Time coverage: generally 1946 to the present, with some older material.</p>
<p>Source: Currently, citations from approximately 5,600 worldwide journals in 39 languages; 60 languages for older journals. Citations for MEDLINE are created by the NLM, international partners, and collaborating organizations.</p>
<p>Updates: Since 2005, between 2,000–4,000 completed references are added each day, Tuesday through Saturday; nearly 700,000 total added in 2010. Updates are suspended for several weeks during November and December as NLM makes the transition to a new year of Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) vocabulary used to index the articles.</p>
<p>Broad subject coverage: The subject scope of MEDLINE is biomedicine and health, broadly defined to encompass those areas of the life sciences, behavioral sciences, chemical sciences, and bioengineering needed by health professionals and others engaged in basic research and clinical care, public health, health policy development, or related educational activities. MEDLINE also covers life sciences vital to biomedical practitioners, researchers, and educators, including aspects of biology, environmental science, marine biology, plant and animal science as well as biophysics and chemistry. Increased coverage of life sciences began in 2000.</p>
<p>The majority of the publications covered in MEDLINE are scholarly journals; a small number of newspapers, magazines, and newsletters considered useful to particular segments of the NLM broad user community are also included. For citations added from 2005–2009: about 45% are for cited articles published in the U.S., about 91% are published in English, and about 83% have English abstracts written by authors of the articles.</p>
<p>Availability: MEDLINE is the primary component of PubMed (<uri xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="http://pubmed.gov">http://pubmed.gov</uri>
); a link to PubMed is found on the NLM home page at <uri xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov">http://www.nlm.nih.gov</uri>
. The result of a MEDLINE/PubMed search is a list of citations (including authors, title, source, and often an abstract) to journal articles and an indication of free electronic full-text availability. Searching is free of charge and does not require registration.</p>
<p>A growing number of MEDLINE citations contain a link to the free full text of the article archived in PubMed Central® or to other sites. You can also link from many MEDLINE references to the Web site of the publisher or other full text provider to request or view the full article, depending upon the publisher’s access requirements. For articles not freely available on the Web, the “Loansome Doc®” feature in PubMed provides an easy way to place an electronic order through the National Network of Libraries of Medicine® (NN/LM®) for the fulltext copy of an article cited in MEDLINE. Registration is required and local fees may apply for this service.</p>
<p>Services/products providing access to MEDLINE data are also developed and made available by organizations that lease the database from NLM. Access to various MEDLINE services is often available from medical libraries, many public libraries, and commercial sources.</p>
<p>MedlinePlus®, another service offered by the NLM, provides consumer-oriented health information. Health consumers are encouraged to discuss search results with their health care provider.</p>

<p>(Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F7">7</xref>
) PubMed Central® (PMC) is a free archive of biomedical and life sciences journal literature at the U.S. National Institutes of Health’s National Library of Medicine (NIH/NLM) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R16">16</xref>
, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R18">18</xref>
). In keeping with NLM’s legislative mandate to collect and preserve the biomedical literature, PMC serves as a digital counterpart to NLM’s extensive print journal collection. Launched in February 2000, PMC was developed and is managed by NLM’s National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).</p>
<p>As an archive, PMC is designed to provide permanent access to all of its content, even as technology evolves and current digital literature formats potentially become obsolete. NLM believes that the best way to ensure the accessibility and viability of digital material over time is through consistent and active use of the archive. For this reason, free access to all of its journal literature is a core principle of PMC.</p>
<p>The PubMed Central National Advisory Committee, established in 1999, provides independent advice on the content and operation of PubMed Central. The Committee is responsible for establishing criteria for groups submitting material to the system, and ensuring that PubMed Central remains responsive to the needs of researchers, publishers, librarians, and the general public. Members of the Committee are appointed by the Director of the National Institutes of Health from the biomedical and information communities as well as the general public.</p>
<p>PubMed Central began operating in February 2000 with content from two journals: <italic>PNAS: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and Molecular Biology of the Cell</italic>
.</p>
<p>The currency and age of material in PubMed Central varies by journal. Many journals make their content available in PMC as soon as it is published. Others may delay release of content in PMC for anywhere from a few months to more than a year after publication. Most journals provide free access to full text in PMC within a year of publication.</p>
<p>NLM has digitized the earlier print issues of many of the PMC journals in order to provide online access to the complete run of issues of these journals. PMC has material dating back to mid- to late–1800s or early 1900s for some journals.</p>
<p>No. Journals that deposit their articles in PMC fall into one of three categories:
<list list-type="bullet"><list-item><p>For several hundred journals, PMC has the complete contents of each issue, starting with the first issue. For the older journals in this group, the back issues of a journal (generally, anything prior to the late 1990s) are available as digitized (scanned) copies of the original print journal.</p>
</list-item>
<list-item><p>For a smaller group of journals, PMC has complete issues and volumes for recent years, but not for all the early years of the journal.</p>
</list-item>
<list-item><p>For still other journals, PMC does not contain any complete issues, just a selection of articles, e.g., just those that are the result of NIH–funded research, or those that the journal has published as open access articles.</p>
</list-item>
</list>
</p>
<p>In all three categories, PMC contains a journal’s final published version of the respective articles. The PMC Journal List includes information about what content is available from each journal, as well as links to that content.</p>
<p>In addition to the articles from these journals, PMC contains author manuscripts of selected articles from several thousand other journals. These manuscripts are accessible via a PMC search or a link from the corresponding PubMed abstract.</p>

). It has evolved from a small Dutch publishing house devoted to classical scholarship into an international multimedia publishing company with over 20,000 products for educational and professional science and healthcare communities worldwide. Elsevier takes its name from the original House of Elzevir, a Dutch family publishing house founded in 1580.</p>
<p>Elsevier’s history reflects a series of collaborations in the effort to advance science and health. These publishing collaborations with a group of scientific visionaries–ranging from Jules Verne to Stephen W. Hawking–created the foundation of scientific and medical publishing.</p>
<p>The efforts of the men and women dedicated to disseminating and using scientific and medical knowledge have been equally critical–the editors, printers, librarians, nurses, doctors, engineers, information specialists and business people at the center of scientific and health publishing.</p>
<p>Relationships with other great science publishers such as North Holland, Pergamon, Mosby, W.B. Saunders, Churchill Livingstone and Academic Press have also been Integral to our success. These are just a few of the companies that are now part of the Elsevier family, bringing with them rich histories of their own. As the company moves forward, our founding motto remains apt: Non Solus–Not Alone.</p>

gives researchers instant access to over 6.3 million records from 1973 onwards, with over 300,000 abstracts added each year (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R27">27</xref>
). Its coverage of the applied life sciences includes agriculture, environment, veterinary sciences, applied economics, food science and nutrition.</p>
<p>Our excellent international coverage sets <italic>CAB Abstracts</italic>
apart from other databases. We process all relevant publications, including less well-known and non-English journals and those published by independent and learned publishers. With publications from over 116 countries in 50 languages, including English abstracts for most articles, researchers get the fullest global picture for any subject.</p>
<p>Global Health is the only specialist bibliographic, abstracting and indexing database dedicated to public health research and practice.</p>
<p>Derived from over 3500 journals, plus reports, books and conferences, Global Health contains over 1.2 million scientific records from 1973 to the present. Over 90,000 records are added each year, and over 95% of these records include an abstract. Publications from over 158 countries in 50 languages are abstracted, and all relevant non-English-language papers are translated to give access to research not available through any other database. The database’s open serials policy and coverage of international and grey literature means that 40% of material contained in Global Health is unique to the database. Everything from proceedings, patents, theses, electronic only publications and other difficult-to-obtain sources are included. Each record has been hand-selected by our subject specialists from over 7,500 serials*, books and conference proceedings, ensuring unparalleled coverage. As a result, we have been shown to include information from more agricultural serials than any other database (don’t just take our word for it – click here for an excerpt from an independent study published in <italic>Issues in Science and Technology Librarianship</italic>

<title>VINITI database of RAS</title>
<p>(Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F18">18</xref>
) For many years Russia has had an excellent track record for world-class scientific research conducted in research institutes under the umbrella of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (now the Russian Academy of Sciences–RAS) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R24">24</xref>
). Today there are about 400 research institutes under the auspice of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS), among them the All Russian Institute for Scientific and Technical Information (VINITI) occupies a special place as a leading agency in information processing domain.</p>
<p>Due to VINITI’s mission to process all literature relating to basic and applied science published in the Russian language, its staff has a different approach for the selection of domestic and foreign journals. Editors performing journal evaluation have an educational background in various foreign languages and in library science. They also have to consult editors with an educational background in a specified field of science if a new journal could be useful for JA.</p>
<p>(Journal Abstracts) on a specific discipline (as an example, for processing of JA on Physics or JA on Genetics or JA on Medicine, etc.). Due to non-existence of the special information agency on medical sciences. VINITI took the responsibility to fill the gap and to collect and process literature on medical science since 1998.</p>
<p>VINITI offers the largest Data-Bank (DBn) in Russia via web server (<uri xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="http://www.viniti.ru">http://www.viniti.ru</uri>
), with back-year data available to 1981. The total number of records is about 30 million; annual addition to DBn is about 1 million records. VINITI has a special group that performs bibliographic control of records. On the VINITI web server (<uri xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="http://www.viniti.ru">www.viniti.ru</uri>
) the DEMO database for demonstration is available. The search is available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. There are approximately one thousand requests per day.</p>
<p>VINITI developed its own classification scheme (Rubricator) for universal coverage on subject categories on natural and technical disciplines reflected in the VINITI Journal Abstract. The Rubricator of VINITI is based on the deepening of the State Classification (Rubricator) of S&T literature (SRSTI) up to level nine–according to a need of specific area of industry. Rubricator contains: subject heading in English and Russian languages; list of keywords indicating the frequency of their use based on the five-years file of databases and experts’ evaluation; links of subject headings to other classifications.</p>

). Released in beta in November 2004, the Google Scholar index includes most peer-reviewed online journals of Europe and America’s largest scholarly publishers, plus scholarly books other non-peer reviewed journals. It is similar in function to the freely available Scirus from Elsevier, CiteSeerX, and getCITED. It is also similar to the subscription-based tools, Elsevier’s Scopus and Thomson ISI’s Web of Science. Its advertising words– “Stand on the shoulders of giants”–is a nod to the scholars who have contributed to their fields over the centuries, providing the foundation for new intellectual achievements.</p>
<p>Google Scholar allows users to search for digital or physical copies of articles, whether online or in libraries. “Scholarly” searches will appear using the references from “’full-text journal articles, technical reports, preprints, theses, books, and other documents, including selected Web pages that are deemed to be “scholarly.’” Google Scholar is as easy to use as with the regular Google web search, especially with the helpfulness of the “advanced search” option, which can automatically narrow search results to a specific journal or article. Using its “group of” feature, it shows the available links to journal articles. In the 2005 version, this feature provided a link to both subscription–access versions of an article and to free full-text versions of articles; for most of 2006, it provided links to only the publishers’ versions. Since December 2006, it has provided links to both published versions and major open access repositories, but still does not cover those posted on individual faculty web pages access to such self-archived non-subscription versions is now provided by a link to Google, where one can find such open access articles.</p>

<p>If we take into account that Bosnia and Herzegovina over and passes a difficult time of economic crisis, war and post-war time, the consequences of which are reflected in all segments, especially in the education system at all levels, including higher education, Bosnian medical “scientific image” is a relatively good in relation to the conditions that medical scientists have when it comes to science and research in this area. The question is when will it get better conditions for greater and better scientific publishing in the field of medical sciences. Asked about the quality of published scientific articles and other Bosnian medical scientists with regard to the citations of papers published in 14 of these indexed medical journals currently published in Bosnia and Herzegovina is relatively low. There are many reasons for this situation and prospects is questionable to what to improve any time soon. The interest of companies and organizations that are involved in the development of science and education in Bosnia and Herzegovina is very low. Current journals are generally being self-financing and subsist in its continuity issue.</p>
