Mapping the Literature of Allied Health

Overview

The NAHRS Task Force on Bibliographic Access for the Allied Health Literature was formed in 1993 as a collaborative research project to map the literature of allied health fields. The rationale for the project was a recognition of the increasing role of allied health professionals in health care delivery and the need to improve information transfer and encourage knowledge base development within the various allied health fields. By using a common bibliometric method to investigate the literature of individual fields, the project sought to:

• identify core journals

• determine bibliographic coverage

• influence database producers to improve access
