鉴于国际医学期刊编辑委员会《向生物医学期刊投稿的统一要求》中有关关键词规定部分与我国国家标准不一致,本研究选取国内外知名医学期刊进行调查,分析各刊的稿约、摘要后关键词著录情况,同时对2个医学文摘型数据库PubMed及CBMdisc进行调查,以探讨医学期刊印刷版取消关键词著录的可行性。结果表明,医学期刊印刷版中不必著录关键词,主题标引工作可以由数据库专业标引人员在对各刊电子数据进行加工时完成。这应该是医学期刊的一个发展趋势。 In view of the inconsistency between the provisions of the key words in the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals of the International Medical Journal and the national standards of our country, this study selected well-known medical journals at home and abroad for investigation and analysis, At the same time, two medical abstract databases, PubMed and CBMdisc, were investigated in order to discuss the feasibility of canceling key words in printing of medical journals. The results show that the printing of medical journals do not have to record the key words, the subject of indexing by database professionals cited in the electronic data processing personnel completed. This should be a trend of medical journals.
