Please recommend some links to journal websites which may help me research these subjects...
Hi. My father's a researcher. He needs some medical journal publications for the following things:
"focus, and infrastructure and personnel requirements in areas, of SCHOOL HEARING SCREENING CAMPS, COMMUNITY BASED HEARING SCREENING PROGRAMS".
Yes i know it's hard finding the stuff. I found dead ends when I was searching. The websites are members-access only, and I could not contact my dad. Hopefully you'll come by something that's FREE. I'll give you twice the tip and a biig IOU.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I'm not sure what kind of information your dad is particularly looking for, so it's tough to give you specific links to specific articles. I don't know if he is looking to create a literature review on what is already happening in this field or if he is looking to compile the results of the data. One topic that keeps popping up is infant hearing screenings, but that may not be an age range he is looking for.
Here is one website with some free medical journal access:
http://www.freemedicaljournals.com/
The trick though is that for each of the journals listed, the most recent articles are not free. Some of the journals allow anything older than 6 months as free and some 12 months. So the problem is that he may not have the most up to date information on the subject. Again it depends on what type of research he needs out of it.
I don't necessarily agree with only looking at journals with the title of Otolaryngology because other peer reviewed journals, such as journals that focus on pediatrics, will be interested in hearing loss in children and what the research going on.
Here is another site with free medical journals broken down into disciplines:
http://www.gfmer.ch/Medical_journals/Free_medical.php
For this one, you might need to check out Otorhinolaryngology and Pediatrics for related articles. Some of the journals may require registering, but they are listed as free.
The New England Journal of Medicine has free content here: http://content.nejm.org/ .
This is a UK based medical journal reference site: http://www.medical-journals.com/index.php. It requires signing up to access the site though.
I tried the medscape and emedicine as well but they really seem to have mostly news links, even though the websites say there is peer reviewed journal content there. Dunno about that one. (http://emedicine.medscape.com/)
Here is a nice site with sources of open access and public content: http://nnlm.gov/rsdd/ejournals/
This looks very promising for alot of possible information in one area.
I got these links mostly from using the keywords "free medical journals" in the google search. There were more but these looked to be the best.
I have to say also that I did a bit of preliminary looking on his topic and it doesn't look good. I really couldn't find any abstracts that seemed to be what he was looking for. I saw lots for infant hearing screening but not much in the way of school or community projects.
Oh one other site of course is google scholar (scholar.google.com) but you will get alot of content you can't access most likely.
if he has affiliations with a university - their library catalogs are open to students and faculty (alumni too i think). He would be able to access many of the journals articles that you can't through normal links. Universities often pay for the journals so their people have free access.
Okay, whew, I'm tired and it's not even my research topic. Have fun.
(Oh and I can be hired as a research assistant; I wrote this page http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-become-a-research-assistant - hehehe best of luck)

The official journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics has several hearing-related articles:
http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/cgi/content/abstract/101/2/221
http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/cgi/content/abstract/101/1/e4
Community based neonatal hearing screenings:
http://www.ijporlonline.com/article/S0165-5876(03)00379-3/abstract (Int'l journal of Pediatric Ornithology)
Science direct provides a lot of options for jopurnal articles: http://www.sciencedirect.com
If your dad works in community health, he should also be able to check to see if he has access to some of the other databases via his employer. Many community colleges provide access to local people for a small fee and many professional organizations can provide you with access to journal databases.

The best sites for finding all published health/medical information that has previously been published in peer reviewed journals include the following
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/
"PubMed comprises more than 19 million citations for biomedical articles from MEDLINE and life science journals. Citations may include links to full-text articles from PubMed Central or publisher web sites."
This is the single best resource as it is not just one journal it organizes information from all journals.
Also http://www.webmd.com/ all of the infromation on Web MD has references to the actual studies. It is another great resource.
If you are looking for specific journals you should be looking for ones with Otolaryngology in the title, this is the study of ear, nose throat...they are usually grouped together as the issues with this area can be related to each other.
The most prominent journal is available for free online it is called the International Journal of Pediatric Otolaryngology and can be found here
http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/506038/description#description
Also the next most prominent journal would be the American Journal of Otolaryngology. and is available for free here (it is more general as far as age groups go than the previously mentioned pediatric journal though it also includes pediatric issues as well.)

Best of luck on your research!
