Journal Watch Infectious Diseases, a literature surveillance newsletter from the Massachusetts Medical Society, will be going online early next month. It features short (about 250 words) summaries of important, recently published, clinically relevant studies from major medical journals. All summaries are written by recognized experts in the field and include brief commentary on the original article that puts the results into perspective for the reader. Contributors “watch” more than 40 journals in infectious disease.

The Journal Watch series currently includes 10 titles, and these publications “watch” more than 100 medical journals. Journal Watch “original” is already online at https://www.jwatch
