  Details - Terms of Use

  A "systematic review" identifies an intervention for a specific disease or other problem in health care, and determines whether or not this intervention works. They summarize conclusions about effectiveness, and provide a unique collation of the known evidence on a given topic.

  Systematic reviews differ from other types of review in that they adhere to a strict design in order to make them more comprehensive, thus minimizing the chance of bias, and ensuring their reliability. Rather than reflecting the views of the authors, or being based on a partial selection of the literature, (as is the case with many articles and reviews that are not explicitly systematic), they contain all known references to trials on a particular intervention and a comprehensive summary of the available evidence. The reviews are therefore also valuable sources of information for those receiving care, as well as for decision makers and researchers.

  PubMed is the National Library of Medicine's (NLM) premier database of scholarly citations covering nearly 4,500 journals published in the U.S. and more than 70 other countries. New citations are added weekly. PubMed is more current than MEDLINE via EBSCO and in addition to providing access to MEDLINE, PubMed provides access to:

  • The out-of-scope citations (e.g., articles on plate tectonics or astrophysics) from certain MEDLINE journals, primarily general science and chemistry journals, for which the life sciences articles are indexed for MEDLINE
  • Citations that precede the date that a journal was selected for MEDLINE indexing
  • Some additional life science journals that submit full text to PubMedCentral(c) and receive a qualitative review by NLM.
• REHABDATA (NARIC)
  Citations and abstracts to physical, mental, and psychiatric disabilities and rehabilitation literature. 1956-present.

  Because UConn holds a license to Beilstein CrossFire, users can see summaries of compounds and reaction information in Scopus for any article that is also indexed in Beilstein Crossfire.

  Using the Papers application from Mekentosj to search Scopus? Papers should prompt you for the Scopus ID (36298) when you do a Scopus search. If it doesn't, or if you need to change it, it go to Preferences, Plugins, Search Engines. Also, Papers can also be configured to use our off campus authentication system (EZproxy), so you might want to add http://ezproxy.lib.uconn.edu/login?url=%@ in the "library proxy" box under "Preferences, Sources".
