Physician sportsmedicine

[Syd Uni sports clinic]

Did anyone else hear that the "sports illustrated" version of sports medicine journals has recently gone under? Apparently, despite having largest circulation of all journals, this venture was no longer competitive. Must have been due to high overheads.

A pity - lots of free full text on the web. Also they actually paid authors for their stories. But not listed on Pub Med, which is probably what killed it.

Which would explain why the web links are no longer clicking through. Shame, nice simple to read journal that I could often give the articles to patients to read.

Some of the archiving services still have Physician Sports Medicine text available if you have favourite articles you want to get before they disappear altogether. Factiva and ProQuest have the full text articles still available at Sydney University. You won't get the pictures (which was half the fun for PSM).

Institutional subscription would be pretty cheap given how much was free full text on the web, so I would guess if you rocked up to any uni library in Australia you could search ProQuest and get your favourite past articles.

Because their past papers were good, I dare say that the copyright holder will eventually on sell to someone else and they will reappear on the web, but perhaps with a price tag this time.
