Description

The focus on digital versions of medical journals is increasing, but audiences still benefit from the printed versions. Practically, however, the amount and types of information that can be printed – word count and number of figures or tables – are limited and, ultimately, ‘static’. Considering the ever-increasing complexity of clinical topics that health professionals and patients are exposed to, this limitation decreases the chances of providing more comprehensive or innovative explanations of complex findings. Additionally, the two‑dimensional representation of information is not always suitable when illustrating complex structures, functions or interrelationship of concepts.

0 citations in Scopus
Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
