SMW completes the chain from study design to published research report

CREATING BIBLIOGRAPHIES

Making a literature search is an essential element in all medical reporting. Compared with the time when all medical literature indices were only available in printed format (Index Medicus, Current Contents, etc.), the researchers of today must be considered privileged.

Simple as it might sound, however, making a good literature search that in the same time is sensitive (i.e. finds all the relevant articles," true positives") and specific (i.e., leaves out the irrelevant articles, "true negatives"), is not a straightforward task to complete. Even if you have some experience, making such a literature search on a highly specific topic, might prove to be a time consuming exercise.

Through the Broadband (ADSL) connection to internet, SMW Consultants has high-speed access to a wide range of online databases, a number of electronic journals and several other online resources. This enables rapid completion of the literature search and downloading of the relevant material, irrespective, how extensive is the yield, and whether you want a long (with Abstract) or short summaries of the papers.

Making a literature search, however, is only the first necessary step in the full exploitation of the modern electronic tools. To get the full benefit of the search, you need the means to convert the search result automatically into the journal-specific bibliography format. This will substantially speed up the writing of the manuscript and building up the final list of references to be included in the text.

SMW team has in its software assortment two powerful tools to create automatically bibliographies from the online search in journal-specific format. Making multiple searches with different set of keywords, and combining the searches into one computer-stored database, is another powerful function of these two software. While sorting out the irrelevant hits, such self-compiled, "sensitive" and "specific" databases on highly specific topics are invaluable tools e.g. in the strategic publication planning of the company.

The following are the SMW services tailored to your specific needs of medical bibliographies:
