Popularity of CMA Online soars


The number of "hits" on CMA Online, the CMA's site on the Internet's World Wide Web, grew exponentially in the fall. By late November the weekly number of accesses of the several thousand files at the site /infobase/ had surpassed 11 500, quadruple the average when the service was launched last spring.

A distinct peak appeared each week that a new edition of CMAJ went online. The most popular part of CMA Online continues to be the Infobase, which contains a variety of online publications, including the online editions of CMAJ and the Canadian Association of Radiologists Journal, the totally online newsletter Canadian Bioethics Report, a collection of clinical practice guidelines abstracts and several online monographs, including Counselling Guidelines for HIV Testing.
