Journal Article Summary Service

Keeping up with the journals

The Journal Article Summary Service (JASS) summarises relevant articles in journals like the BMJ, Lancet, New England Journal of Medicine and JAMA and specialist publications.

JASS has been commercially available since 1997 and is subscribed to in 44 different countries, including Australia and New Zealand, by academic units and individuals.

Fellows and members are invited to send JASS an email saying “Interested in subscribing” and be sent a free issue and an order form. A reduction of $A10 will apply to the 12 month subscription of $A120 to those joining in this way.

JASS carries a questionnaire with each issue that is accredited by RANZCOG for 1 CPD point per bulletin.
