Notes
IDEM provides the literature database ETHMED since 1993. It contains references to publications from German-speaking but also from English-speaking countries. For this purpose IDEM analyses over 160 journals from different academic disciplines (medicine, nursing science, health care economics, natural sciences, philosophy and theology as well as law, economics and social sciences) in search for publications on medical ethics.

ETHMED is integrated into the ETHICSWEB portal via BELIT.
