 Biomedical Journals in Korea

 Established a database for more than 780 kinds ofacademic journals and 600,000 articles since 1940

※ Approx. 30,000 articles/y in biomedical science are published in Korea

 Collecting the academic Journals, books, policy reports,etc.

 Plan Working on making agreements with publishers, main
repositories/libraries and relevant organizations
Planning to push for legislation to get a presentation copyof each book published in Korea

Data Sharing
Activities- Clinical Research Supporting TFT is running the clinicalresearch registry (CRIS), data management program(iCReaT), and data repository- Implementation of data sharing policy and dissemination
to the public Plan- Establishing a standardized procedure for datarepository and distribution of biomedical resources(data)and information- Coming up with a proper classification system and data
management model focusing on personalized medicine

Health Science Education
 Activities- Providing the information about infectious diseases,
rare diseases, genomes, clinical research, etc.
- Running online educational programs mainly
designed for professionals such as the courses aboutclinical researches as follows; Calculation of power and sample size Design of clinical research Clinical research and ethics

Health Science Education: plan Contents will be divided depending on the target group
1. Researchers, Professionals and Librarians
2. Public including students
 Methods of Education Program
1. Online: developing advanced courses
Space for Field Trip/Exhibition
2. Offline: Training and Education: courses associated with theservices provided in Korea NLM
 Field trip and Exhibition: ex. Exhibition of Microscopes ,field trip for safety management of laboratory, etc.
3. Producing and providing education materials for middle& high school students
