Information explosion

How to find literature efficiently ?



Tool

Strategy

Organization

What is literature?

  • Papers with results and records of research, study, experience, experiment, or observation.

  • What have been done/known so far, and what others think about this issue.

  • Papers publihed in textbooks or scientific journals (Science, Nature, etc.).

  • Textbooks are usually updated rarely and out-of-date.

Why do we need
literature retrieval ?

  • To clear the definition of something.
    • Example: I want to know the number of patients with metabolic syndrome in Japan.
    • What is metabolic syndrome ?
    • ICD10: E88.81
  • To find the background knowledge of the topic.
    • Example: Risk factors of diabetes.
    • Which type ? (Type I or II?)
    • What is already known ? (Obesity, sedentary life-style, family history, unhealthy diet)
    • What is still unknown ?
      • The mechanism of insulin resistance.
      • Does paternal history contributes equal with maternal history?
      • etc.

When to do
literature retrieval ?

In every stage of your research!

  • Planing
    • Background reseach.
    • Limitations to be overcomed.
    • How many sample do I need ?
    • etc.
  • Doing
    • What is different between my results and the literature ?
    • What is new in my study ?
  • Writing
    • Any other new study published during my research ?

Pubmed

  • What is Pubmed?
    • Free search engine accessing the MEDLINE database of reference and abstracts on life sciences and biomedical topics.
    • More than 25,000,000 papers are indexed in the database.
    • Time:
      • From 1946 to now.
      • Updated every work day. (5 days/week)
  • Journals from Japan (n = 161); Journals in Japanese (n = 69) [2016.2]
  • Language used to search: English.
NIH = National Institues of Health
NLM = National Library of Medicine
NCBI =
National Center for Biotechnology Information

  2. Break the topic into individual concepts
  3. Define words or phrases to describe the concept
  4. Search each concept as separate set
  5. Combining the search sets with AND, OR, NOT
  6. Display and evaluate the results
