Literature & clinical references
ClinicalKey
Integrated clinical reference platform
"Textbooks, journals and guidelines in one search."
About the resource
ClinicalKey unifies Elsevier's clinical-reference content — the Saunders, Mosby and Churchill Livingstone textbook lines, hundreds of full-text journals, society practice guidelines, drug monographs (via Gold Standard), procedural videos and patient-education leaflets — behind a single search index, with content tagged by specialty and disease.
For disease research, it's most useful when you need the kind of consolidated background a textbook chapter or guideline gives you, alongside the recent journal articles in one place. Access is institutional; the platform is common in teaching-hospital intranets.
