The Literature Selection Technical Review Committee (LSTRC) is a federal advisory committee that was established in 1987. The LSTRC meets three times a year to review and recommend journals for inclusion in MEDLINE. The LSTRC recommendation is based on a journal’s scientific content, quality, importance, editorial policies, and subject matter. Publishers and editors must submit a MEDLINE application for a journal to be considered for inclusion in MEDLINE.
