International Journal Watch

A resource on the APAGBI website to help you keep up to date. 

Every quarter we will signpost interesting or useful articles published in key journals within the last three months. We will endeavour to include articles that are included in journals you may not subscribe to. A brief review of the articles content will be provided to help you direct your reading. If you would like to get involved contact us at education@apagbi.org.uk
