As the internet medium is rapidly expanding, more and more medical information is being disseminated by way of the net. This allows information which is current to clinical practice to be widely available for readership. Many web-site are providing medical information to medical professionals, as well as the public.
Some sites provide abstracts and abbreviated articles of previously reviewed and published works.
Others provide articles without the benefit of peer-review. As a publication of Internet Scientific Publications, the Internet Journal of Academic Physician Assistants maintains a strict peer-review process for all original clinical manuscripts. As this medium for dissemination of clinical material broadens, the integrity of the peer-review process must be ensured.
