Evidence Based-Medicine
Evidence Based Medicine involves integrating the best available research evidence with clinical expertise and patient values. It is a 5-step process: 1) framing a clinical question, 2) finding the best evidence, 3) critically appraising the evidence, 4) integrating the evidence into practice, and 5) evaluating the process. The hierarchy of evidence ranks randomized controlled trials highest, while expert opinion is lowest. Several sources can be used to find evidence, including PubMed, Cochrane Library, UptoDate, and clinical guidelines websites. Skill is required to perform efficient searches and appraise evidence critically.
Boosting Research Productivity
This document provides tips for boosting research productivity through smart searching and keeping track of findings. It recommends beginning with a clear research question and searching appropriate databases. Popular choices include MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC, and PsycINFO.

EndNote X6
This document provides an overview of how to use EndNote, a bibliographic management software, to capture, organize, and use references. Key features covered include:
1) Capturing references from online databases directly in EndNote or by exporting/importing from databases and PDFs.
2) Organizing references in an EndNote library and grouping references into custom collections.
3) Using the Cite While You Write feature in Microsoft Word to automatically insert citations and create bibliographies in different styles.
4) Additional features like attaching files/figures, finding full text, and creating custom output styles.
Identifying search terms
The document discusses identifying effective search terms for research. It advises readers to carefully consider their research topic and question, breaking it down into key concepts. Readers should then brainstorm synonyms, related terms, and abbreviations for each concept to ensure a comprehensive search. The document provides examples of how to identify search terms for sample research questions about hand washing in healthcare and detention of asylum seekers.
Critical appraisal
This document discusses how to critically appraise research studies. It is important to critically appraise research to determine how valid and useful the results are, as research quality can vary. When appraising a study, one should examine aspects like methodology, potential for publication bias, clarity of results presentation, and statistical significance of findings. Tools like CASP questionnaires can help guide the critical appraisal process by evaluating a study's validity, results, and relevance.
Literaure searching for systematic reviews
To avoid bias, systematic reviews must comprehensively search for all relevant published and unpublished research. An effective search strategy considers all possible terms, searches various databases and other resources, and documents the process. The search aims to be highly sensitive to find all relevant studies while being specific enough to exclude irrelevant ones later. Guidance from Cochrane and CRD can help with developing search strategies and conducting thorough systematic reviews.

- 27. The Cochrane Library • High quality systematic reviews • Already been critically appraised • Full text available • Also contains abstracts of other systematic reviews and clinical trials www.thecochranelibrary.com
- 31. Practical • Work through the PubMed activity on QM Plus • In pairs: one work through Web of Science activity and the other Scopus • Discuss your findings with your partner
- 32. Broadening your search • An OR search – combine two synonyms to give a larger number of results • Child health OR paediatrics will search for any articles containing one or both of the terms
- 33. Broadening your search • Truncation – add an asterisk to the stem of a word • Injur* will search for injury, injuries, injured, injuring . . .
- 34. Narrowing your search • An AND search – combine two elements of your search question to give a smaller number of results • Asthma AND children will search for any articles containing both of the terms

- 36. Subject headings & thesaurus terms • E.g. MeSH terms in PubMed • Alternative to keyword searching • Fixed set of terms assigned to define the main focus of an article • Each article “tagged” with several headings • Heading not necessarily a word that appears in title or abstract • PubMed automatically searches MeSH terms. Check the search details box.
- 37. Summary • Use specialist search engines to search across a wide range of good quality web resources • Use databases to find academic research articles, both primary research as well as review articles
