Latest evidence.
These can be edited via the ‘Edit my profile’ link below.
Lots has been going on in the last month and we released a new content area – controlled trials (mainly randomised controlled trials). We have added approximately 500,000 trials to Trip. Just search the site normally and select the ‘Controlled trials’ link on the right hand side of the results page. For further information read this link and this link.
I had the pleasure of presenting at Evidence Live 2013 and have written up the main points of my presentation, which is a critique of the Cochrane Collaboration, this can be read here. My basic point is that the current methods are unsustainable, which is a real worry. I think Cochrane should concentrate their efforts of reducing the cost (finance, time, opportunity) for each systematic review. Systematic reviews are vital and therefore we need as many as we can get!
One little feature of interest is our ‘Share feature’ (click here for further information). This allows users to easily share results on Trip via email and social media. It really is easy to use!
FULL TEXT ALERT! Finally, we’re working hard to push out a new batch of updates to Trip, possibly by the middle of May. One key area that we need some input in is the full-text link outs - to allow the seamless linking between Trip and an institutions full-text holdings. We know this is important as many people have been asking for this for years. So, we need librarians and clinicians to work with us to achieve this. If you’re interested in linking Trip up to your organisations full-text documents then please let me know.
Best wishes
