A list of the journals that are reviewed and the criteria for selecting articles from these journals for inclusion in Evidence-Base Nursing are included in each issue. The following articles passed all criteria but were not abstracted because, in the judgment of the editors, their findings were less widely applicable to nursing practice. As of the Oct 2001 issue, we will publish this list on the website on an ongoing basis.
