A comparison of biomedical databases

Various published bibliographic and abstract services covering the period 1970-1988 were compared to analyze scope and coverage. A total of 7,281 articles and book titles (1,655 Soviet and 5,626 foreign) were selected on forty-one topics in different medical fields. The titles originated from three different samples but included all Soviet medical literature on the subjects. A distribution of biomedical serials from five databases is given by country, and twelve indices to assess the quality of biomedical databases are suggested.     

Searching a biomedical bibliographic database from Bulgaria: the ABS database

BACKGROUND: The University of Sofia, Bulgaria, disseminates local biomedical literature (1994 to present) through a free online database, ABS. OBJECTIVES: Our objectives were to systematically search ABS, identify citations to controlled trials and discover what proportion of these studies are to be found on medline. METHODS: We searched using Bulgarian and English phrases; manually selected citations of controlled trials and sought these citations on medline. Results: Using the two languages, we found a total of 628 unique citations, 47 of which seem to be relevant controlled trials (precision 7.48%, 13% of ABS citations were found on medline). The trials in ABS commonly focused on evaluation of care for people with cardiovascular or urological problems. DISCUSSION: ABS is another source of easily accessed trials not readily available elsewhere.

Core lists of medical journals: a comparison.

Five core lists of medical journals are compared with respect to size, intended users, and content. Despite variations in scope and depth, there is significant agreement among the lists. A list of the seventy-two titles appearing on four or all of the five lists is appended. There is no clear relationship between frequency of inclusion in these core lists and citation frequency as reported in Journal Citation Reports.

HEALTHLAWYER: an informal comparison with medical and legal databases.

This article compares HEALTHLAWYER with other legal and medical databases in an informal study. Local network building is an important element of this work. The memo format is used to illustrate the working style of the study group. Using a sample question, each author includes HEALTHLAWYER in a multi-database search strategy. Memos are exchanged regarding search formulations and search outcomes. HEALTHLAWYER, it is concluded, is a helpful database when initiating research on a medical/legal question.     

“四大索引”与科技评价

美国的《科学引文索引》（SCI），《科学评论索引》（ISR），《科技会议录索引》（ISTP）和《工程索引》（EI）等“四大索牙”编辑出版的意图是人们提供科技信息服务，而不是充当评定刊物或论文学价值高低的权威裁判，过分强调“四大索引”数据对科技工作评价的作用，会产生一些不可忽视的负面影响，只有公正，全面地认识“四大索引”的作用，才有利于我国期刊事业的健康发展。     

Searching for randomised controlled trials and clinical controlled trials in Thai online bibliographical biomedical databases

Background: Thailand is a poor but highly literate country in South‐East Asia with over 60 million people. A lot of biomedical research is undertaken but dissemination is limited. Objectives: To identify relevant Thai bibliographic databases and investigate accessibility, functionality and content, particularly in relation to randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and clinical controlled trials (CCTs). Methods: A systematic search for institutions productive of research and the databases in their libraries. Search each accessible database in both Thai and English, recording the functionality and content. Assess accessibility of the retrieved RCTs or CCTs by comparing to Pub Med holdings. Results: We found 32 different databases (29 accessible in UK) of various sizes, coverage and functionality but many with unique records of RCTs and CCTs (total, n = 781). Two hundred and nine of 781 trials were accessible on Pub Med (27%). However, 641 of the 781 trial records contain text in both English and Thai (82%) and 112 records were solely English (14%). Conclusions: Those undertaking comprehensive searches for RCTs/CCTs should, in addition to a Pub Med , search the Thai Medical Index and Thai Index Medicus databases, and the Khon Kaen University Library Catalogue.

中医药类英文科技期刊国际同行评议专家数据库建设

学术期刊同行评议过程是保证学术论文质量的重要环节.目前的同行评审公共平台所包含的专家学者均以全球性学科为主.而中医药是我国独具特色的卫生资源,也是我国少数几个拥有自主知识产权且在国际上具有竞争优势的行业之一,因此,建立一个全球范围的、专门的、包含大量针对传统医药相关专家的同行评议数据库就显得尤为重要.本文建立了 一个信息量大、更新及时、交互式管理的中英双语国际中医药同行评议专家数据库系统(TCMPEER),并以Web Service方式设计公共开放接口,提供实时在线专家遴选服务.该数据库能实时掌握更新国内外医学界专家学者动态、研究近况,为评审专家遴选工作提供信息服务和决策支持.该数据库重点解决以专家数据信息为中心,从展示、关联、交互、服务等多维度辐射扩展,为专家带来完全精准匹配的增值服务.本研究构建的专家数据库着重服务于中医药类英文期刊,形成优势公共资源,未来将与行业学会对接,首批实现以我国创办的中医药类英文刊集群共同进入实质性业务运营,进而辐射世界,补充替代医学领域相关专家数据库.     

国际重要数据库收录中国医学期刊现状与提高中国医学期刊国际地位的建议

收集了美国、英国、德国、俄罗斯、日本、荷兰、波兰、菲律宾等国家28种国际重要数据库收录中国（含台湾、香港、澳门）期刊情况;截至2011年3月20日,共收录2324种,其中医学期刊610种。详细介绍了SCI、MEDLINE、CA、BA、INSPEC等18个国际重要数据库收录中国医学期刊情况,简要介绍了国际数据库遴选期刊的要求。15年来,中国高校科技期刊研究会、中国科学技术期刊编辑学会国际检索系统咨询部（以下简称“国际部”）通过多次与各大国际检索机构联系、沟通,逐步掌握了各国际数据库的规模、学科范围、遴选新刊标准,陆续推荐了300余种中国医学期刊,并产生了明显效果。建议中国期刊积极贯彻国家标准,遵循国际标准和惯例,不断提高期刊的质量,包括英文摘要的质量,促进中国期刊与国际文献编排格式接轨,不断提高中国医学期刊在国际文献领域的学术地位。     

中外医学期刊栏目比较

对国内外优秀医学期刊栏目的设置进行比较,认为医学期刊均有按专业学科设置栏目的趋势.国内医学期刊内容单一,专业性强;国外期刊内容丰富,形式多样,互动性好:因此,国内医学期刊应注重构建互动性的栏目,增设研究快报栏目,减少首报论文外流,提高中国医学期刊的质量及影响.
