Abstract: A preliminary investigation has revealed rather disturbing omissions in the rheumatology coverage of Index Medicus. Four full length articles from a sample of ninety‐three periodical references taken from the rheumatological literature could not be traced in the Cumulated Index Medicus author indexes, and no obvious reason for their intentional exclusion could be deduced. All four articles were from journals “Covered” by Index Medicus.
