Due to the cost of purchasing research articles and copyright issues, it is not currently possible for the Information Point to provide these at this website.

However, we can advise that all articles relating to CNM / MTM that have been partially funded by the US National Institues of Health (NIH) are now available at PubMed Central as a result of the NIH Public Access Policy.

Due to the large number of articles written on CNM / MTM a decision has been taken to link from here to the PubMed Central website rather than linking directly to individual articles. In order to view the NIH articles, visit the PubMed Central website and use the A-Z to search for your subject. The articles are free to read, download and distribute from this location.

Whilst NIH are not the only organisation to publish articles on CNM / MTM, the release of their articles for free at PubMed Central is a positive step in getting information about CNM / MTM in to the public domain.

Abstracts of other articles are available at PubMed which links to the journal webpage where you can purchase the full articles. The price varies but they are usually around US$30, although occasionally the articles are free depending on the journal and there is a trend for some new journals such as Public Library of Science (PLOS) to have free access to their articles.

There are currently no plans to make access to any other articles free. However, should any other organisations do so, the information will be reported here when this occurs.
