About

PubMed (National Library of Medicine) represents by far the first information source when it comes to medicine related information.
Even though it is free, it has a very well-structured searching system and controlled vocabulary.
It has recently also added a new interface and features that make it even more useful.
However, especially for Pharmacovigilance purposes, sometimes it is not considered sufficient.
Therefore, in many cases it would be appropriate to extend literature monitoring activities, sometimes also with the help of new technologies (Office automation, Artificial Intelligence, etc.).
The aim of this training is to broaden literature monitoring activities in an advance manner using low-cost or free additional sources such as Core, CrossRef, MedXRiv, BioXRiv.

During the training, the following topic will be taking into consideration:

  • PubMed and Medline: a quick presentation
  • PubMed’s main competitors
  • New/useful PubMed features that facilitate work
  • Additional free sources
    • PubMed Central
    • Core
    • CrossRef
    • MedXRiv
    • BioXRiv
  • Case examples
  • APIs and automated searches
  • Machine-aided classification, summarization, and analysis with examples
  • The role of AI based technologies (ChatGPT, Bard, Microsoft Copilot, etc.)
  • Hands on exercises on advances strategies and their implementation in PubMed
  • Hands on exercises on other sources

Scientific Documentation Specialists, Medical Affairs Managers and Officers, Pharmacovigilance Specialists.
