Holding over 30,000 records, CISCOM, the RCCM's database of
research references and abstracts, is widely considered to be the most comprehensive
database of published complementary medicine research world-wide. Sourced from the British
Library and Medline databases, with additional data provided by citation tracking and the
RCCM's researcher network, it covers a broad range of papers published since the mid-1960s
in conventional and complementary medical journals.
CISCOM has been designed to enable searches on the basis of
scientific rigour and journal type. Fees for use of the service start at £10 and depend
on the scale and complexity of the request. We can provide data in printed or electronic
format.
The RCCM can deal with info requests from health
professionals and researchers. We are not qualified to give advice or an overview of any
therapy or condition to members of the public. Researchers will need to make a brief
telephone call to the rccm (+44 (0) 171 833 8897 ) to negotiate their search. We are open
10 - 6 UK time.
