Next Phase of NIH Preprint Pilot Launching Soon
Last month, the National Library of Medicine (NLM)announced plans to extend its NIH Preprint Pilot in PubMed Central (PMC) and PubMed beyond COVID-19 to encompass all preprints reporting on NIH-funded research. The second phase of the pilot, launching later this month, will include preprints supported by an NIH award, contract, or intramural program and posted to aneligible preprint server on or after January 1, 2023.In preparation for the launch of this second phase, we have updated PMC and PubMed site features to help users of these databases incorporate the increased volume of preprints into their discovery workflows. S...

Second Phase of the NIH Preprint Pilot Launched
Today, we are pleased to announce the launch of the second phase of the NIH Preprint Pilot with the addition of more than 700 new preprint records to PubMed Central (PMC) and PubMed. This second phase expands the scope of the Pilot to include preprints resulting from all NIH-funded research. Eligible preprints are those acknowledging direct support of an NIH award or authored by NIH staff and posted to bioRxiv, medRxiv, arXiv, or Research Square, on or after January 1, 2023. NLM will automatically include the full text of the preprint (as license terms allow) and associated citation information in PMC and PubMed, respectiv...

Dr. Epstein, Political Bias, & Google Search Results
I’m a little confused by claims made by Dr. Robert Epstein and his assertion, based upon a single study of 95 participants, that Google somehow intentionally biased the results shown before the 2016 U.S. presidential election. And therefore, likely impacted the election results itself.
That’s a huge assertion to make. One would hope that an esteemed researcher such as Dr. Epstein would have the scientific data to back it up. Unfortunately, I don’t see it.
Science is only objective up until the point where a scientist acknowledges and accounts for her or his own biases. Science is not based on a preset ag...

Google’s Flu Project Shows the Failings of Big Data
MoreGoogle Will Start Encrypting Your SearchesScientists Can Now Predict the FluGoogle Will Pay You $15 for Each Business User You Get Hooked on GoogleBig data: as buzzwords go, it’s inescapable. Gigantic corporations like SAS and IBM tout their big data analytics, while experts promise that big data—our exponentially growing ability to collect and analyze information about anything at all—will transform everything from business to sports to cooking. Big data was—no surprise—one of the major themes coming out of this month’s SXSW Interactive conference. It’s inescapable.

Systematic Review Search Strategy Development: (Very Nearly) A Thing of the Past?
A guest post by Rachel Pinotti, MLIS, AHIP
Recently, a faculty member sent me a copy of a June 2017 editorial published in Annals of Internal Medicine entitled Computer-Aided Systematic Review Screening Comes of Age along with the article which it accompanied. The editorial argues, in short, that machine learning algorithms generate superior results to human-designed search strategies. It asks (and answers), “Is it time to abandon the dogma that no stone be left unturned when conducting literature searches for systematic reviews? We believe so, because it has a deleterious effect on the number and timeliness of updat...

Spitfire search in Burma draws a blank
Archaeologists cancel news conference after failing to find British fighter planes believed to be buried in BurmaIt's the confession that no excavation team ever wants to make – that its search has come up empty. But for Spitfire hunters in Burma, who have been on the prowl since early January for dozens of second-world-war-era British fighter planes, that seeming admission came on Friday, when archaeologists were forced to cancel a news conference after their search turned up not planes but cables and pipes instead.The British-led archaeology team, headed by the Lincolnshire farmer and Spitfire enthusiast David Cundall,...

Irving Fisher ' s Search for Stable Money: What We Can Learn
ConclusionIn thinking about monetary alternatives, there is no better place to start then a review of Irving Fisher ’s work, especiallyThe Purchasing Power of Money. His insights can guide all those interested in improving the current government fiat money regime and in avoiding the mistakes of the past. The Fed, in particular, ought to listen to what Fisher had to say about sound money—that is, money of stable purchasing power. There is no perfect mone tary system, but one needs to understand what a “good system” would look like in order to move in the right direction. A deep knowledge of monetary theory,...

Battling the Matthew Effect: Can Search Results be Fair?
Search engines are mediators between producers and consumers of information, and the order in which an engine presents its results affects both stakeholder groups in significant ways (e.g., economic livelihood). Top-ranked items provide their producers with much more exposure to the consumer than do lower-ranked items. If a search engine repeatedly returns comparably relevant items in the same order, the rich (more exposed) items will keep getting richer while lower-ranked items will get less and less relative exposure.
The Text REtrieval Conference (TREC, trec.nist.gov) project at NIST contained a Fair Ranking track from...

Identifying complications of interventional procedures from UK routine healthcare databases: a systematic search for methods using clinical codes
Conclusions:
The four distinct methods identifying complication from codified data offer great potential in generating new evidence on the quality and safety of new procedures using routine data. However the most robust method, using the methodology recommended by the NHS Classification Service, was the least frequently used, highlighting that much valuable observational data is being ignored.

A Brief History of the Search for Water on Mars
The news on Monday that signs of water had been found on Mars is, NASA declared, “the strongest evidence yet that liquid water flows intermittently on present-day Mars.” It’s also the latest step forward in the long history of humankind’s search for the life-sustaining liquid on the Red Planet—and of our interest in the ever-intriguing possibility of sustained life on Mars.
The excitement over possible Martian inhabitants, and what they might drink, was started in the 19th century by the Italian astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli, who described hazy streaks on the surface of the planet, calling ...

Crews Search Shenandoah National Park for Missing Virginia Paramedic/Firefighter
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A paramedic-firefighter who disappeared last week always put others first, and authorities are asking the public to return the favor by calling police if they have any information that might help search crews scouring the rugged terrain of the Shenandoah National Park.
Nicole Mittendorff, 31, is an avid runner and tri-athlete whose family says might have been training on a trail near where her car was found Saturday, three days after anyone last heard from her.
