It’s impossible without the science that gives you insight into practical solutions.

That’s where the Ovid NutriHealth database provides the answers. This database from Wolters Kluwer and IFIS Publishing uncovers relevant information that wouldn’t necessarily have turned up in your search of medical databases because data in this IFIS Collection is drawn from a distinct set of source materials focused on the science of food.

"NutriHealth is an essential database for nutrition-focused systematic reviews. It includes quality studies not indexed in PubMed or Medline—use NutriHealth to ensure reviews are comprehensive and represent the state of research on nutrition questions." Sciences Reference Librarian (University)

The Production Process

The Ovid NutriHealth database is closely managed by a team of experts, who rigorously assess sources for value and relevance. Many databases skip this vetting procedure or rely on automated systems.

Experts conduct a thorough evaluation of each journal and resource against a checklist of criteria relating to potentially predatory or unethical publishing practices.

We have developed a 60-point checklist for assessing journals for inclusion in FSTA and its Collection subsets. The checklist measures across several diverse areas - find out more about our journal assessment process here.

"One recent study concluded that 8,000 predatory journals collectively publish 420,000 papers every year, nearly a fifth of the scientific community's annual output of 2.5 million papers."

(Naomi Oreskes, Predatory Journals That Publish Shoddy Research Put People’s Lives at Risk, Scientific American)

However, you can be confident that Ovid NutriHealth is relevant to the sciences of nutrition, food and health and meets high standards of scientific validity and rigour.
