So many articles, so little time…

The amount of articles published continues to grow, and hence there is a need for tools helping us get an overview of our topic. In our session, we will show Epistemonikos and TRIP, two databases that collect evidence based medical literature from a wide range of sources. We will also look into Dimensions, a linked research information system.
