Residents of developing nations may be able to obtain full text copies of many of the journal articles listed in SafetyLit at no or very low cost. For more information visit the World Health Organization HINARI Program website.

We are unable to provide photocopies of any the articles and reports listed in SafetyLit. Where possible, links have been provided to the publisher of the material and contact information for the corresponding author is listed. Some authors will provide you an electronic version of their report if you request one. Many of the journals provide copies (usually for a fee) of reports online. Please consider asking your library to subscribe to the journals from which these abstracts have been gathered.

The criteria for selecting report for inclusion are simple. If the answer to any of the following questions is "yes", then the report is likely to be included: 1. Do the SafetyLit reviewers find the report interesting? 2. Are SafetyLit readers likely to hear of the report from a colleague? 3. Are SafetyLit readers likely to be questioned about the report from a member of the population they serve? 4. Does the report contain findings that are likely to be used by an adversary to oppose the actions or recommendations of a SafetyLit reader?

If you know of a journal article or a report that you believe should be included in a SafetyLit update, please contact David Lawrence at david.lawrence@sdsu.edu or by telephone at: (619) 594-1994.
