Overview
Journal of Registry Management (JRM) is the official journal of the National Cancer Registrars Association (NCRA), which publishes it quarterly from Alexandria, Virginia. NCRA describes it as an open access, peer-reviewed journal that publishes papers on topics related to the management of health registries and to the collection, management and use of cancer, trauma, birth defects, HIV/AIDS and other health registry data. Its readers are cancer registrars, the data specialists who capture a complete history, diagnosis, treatment and health status for every cancer patient in the United States, and the researchers, clinicians and public health officials who use registry data to monitor treatment, conduct research and improve prevention and screening programmes. NCRA also offers continuing education quizzes based on JRM articles. The journal is currently indexed in MEDLINE.
