Systematic Approaches to Searching the Health Science Literature #8: Building Search Strategies (Part V)
This video continues to demonstrate, using the Web of Science and Scopus as the example databases, the basic concepts in building searching strategies. Unlike PubMed and OvidSP MEDLINE, these databases do not support a controlled vocabulary system.View Tutorial Full Size (13 min 11 sec)Download tutorial (MP4 file, 30.42MB) (Source: Tutorials from the Yale Medical Library)

Missing data
The problem of missing data is well known, especially in cases where drug companies conceal evidence. However pharmaceutical industry misconduct is not the only cause, and a cluster of papers in this week's BMJ show how aspects of the culture of medical science contribute to the problem.
Elizabeth Loder, BMJ's clinical editor, talks to Harlan Krumholz (Harold H Hines Jr professor of medicine at Yale University) and Joseph Ross (assistant professor of medicine, also at Yale) about missing data from US publicly funded trials. Lisa Bero (professor at the Department of Clinical Pharmacy, University of California) describes how...

Systematic Approaches to Searching the Health Science Literature #7: Building Search Strategies (Part IV)
This video continues to demonstrate, using OvidSP MEDLINE as the example database, the basic concepts in building searching strategies. In particular, proximity searches with the positional operator, frequency searches with the frequency operator, Boolean searches with the Boolean operators, and the various limit options in OvidSP are demonstrated.View Tutorial Full Size (6 min 32 sec)Download tutorial (MP4 file, 7.75MB) (Source: Tutorials from the Yale Medical Library)
