Seek, And Ye Shall Find: Accessing The Global Epidemiological Literature In Different Languages, Isaac Chun-Hai Fung

Isaac Chun-Hai Fung

This editorial suggests that all systematic reviews in epidemiology and public health should include literature published in the major languages of the world and that the use of regional and non-English bibliographic databases should become routine.
