Abstract
Citations to biomedical research papers from different types of document — clinical guidelines, textbooks, government policy documents, international or national regulations and newspaper articles — can provide new indicators of the utility of such research. However, most such citing documents will be national in character, and in order to provide an international perspective it will be necessary to combine several databases constructed to the same protocols and linked through the Web.
