Authors: Délio Marques Conde, Waldemar Naves Amaral, Aarão Mendes Pinto-Neto, Jurandyr Moreira de Andrade

Published in: Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics | Issue 3/2008

Abstract

There is a considerable body of new information on Gynecology and Obstetrics. To aid in keeping gynecologists updated, renowned periodicals publish review articles. Review articles enable the reader to obtain the best evidence for clinical or research issues from several individual articles. This enables the professional to make clinical decisions in the light of current knowledge. The different types of reviews and database that may be used for the elaboration of reviews are discussed in the present article. It is suggested that future reviews on Gynecology and Obstetrics include articles published in other idioms apart from English and that a larger number of database is researched. Thus, reviews will be not only more inclusive but more representative of the international literature.
