Objective 　To compare and review worldwide journals titled “evidence-based” in order to provide an overview of these healthcare journals and suggestions for improving the quality of this type of journal in China and to introduce a quick way for healthcare professionals and patients to obtain high quality clinical evidence.
Methods 　We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Ulrich’s Periodicals Directory, Wanfang and some relevant websites to identify journals titled “evidence-based”. The last issues in 2006 of these kind of journals were analyzed by bibliometric method.
Results 　Twenty-four journals were included. Covering 12 disciplines such as clinical, nursing, health care, etc. They were divided into the primary journals and the secondary journals, published in two languages in six countries. These journals had differences and similarities in their aims, columns and contents, etc.
Conclusions 　Evidence-based medical journals provide the latest developments and the best evidence for healthcare professionals in their own fields, save their time in searching for and reading information, and provide ideas for improving the quality of similar journals in our country.
