  • Handsearching had best recall but poor efficiency when exporting to a Bibliographic Tool: case study.
    Journal of clinical epidemiology, 2020
    Co-Authors: Chris Cooper, Tristan Snowsill, Christine Worsley, Amanda Prowse, Alison O'mara-eves, Helen Greenwood, Emma Boulton, Amanda Strickson
    Abstract:

    Abstract Objectives The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness and efficiency of methods used to identify and export conference abstracts into a Bibliographic management Tool. Study Design and Setting This is a case study. The effectiveness and efficiency of methods to identify and export conference abstracts presented at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) conference 2016–2018 for a systematic review were evaluated. A reference standard handsearch of conference proceedings was compared with: 1) contacting Blood (the journal that report ASH proceedings); 2) keyword searching; 3) searching Embase; 4) searching MEDLINE via EndNote; and 5) searching CPCI-S. Effectiveness was determined by the number of abstracts identified compared with the reference standard, whereas efficiency was a comparison between the resources required to identify and export conference abstracts compared with the reference standard. Results Six hundred and four potentially eligible and 15 confirmed eligible conference abstracts (abstracts included in the review) were identified by the handsearch. Comparator 2 was the only method to identify all abstracts and it was more efficient than the reference standard. Comparators 1 and 3–5 missed a number of eligible abstracts. Conclusion This study raises potentially concerning questions about searching for conferences’ abstracts by methods other than directly searching the original conference proceedings. Efficiency of exporting would be improved if journals permitted bulk downloads.

  • sigaps a prototype of Bibliographic Tool for medical research evaluation
    Medical Informatics Europe, 2003
    Co-Authors: Patrick Devos, Eric Dufresne, Jeanmarie Renard, Regis Beuscart
    Abstract:

    Evaluation of research activity is extremely important but remains a complex domain. There's no standardized methods and evaluation is often based on the scientific publications. It is easy to identify, for a researcher, all the publications realized over a given period of time. At the level of an important establishment like an University Hospital, with about 500 researchers, this sort of inventory is very difficult to realize: we have to list the researchers, to list their publications, to determine the quality of articles produced, to store retrieved data and to calculate summary statistics. We have developed a full-Web prototype, using free software which, for a given researchers' list, interrogates the Pubmed server, downloads the found references and stores them in a local database. They are then enriched with local data which allow the realization of more or less complex analyses, the automatic production of reports, or keyword search. This Tool is very easy to use, allowing for immediate analysis of publications of a researcher or a research team. This Tool will allow to identify those active teams to be maintained or emergent teams to be supported. It will also allow to compare candidate profiles for appointments to research posts.

  • Women in China's Long Twentieth Century - eScholarship
    2007
    Co-Authors: Gail Hershatter
    Abstract:

    This indispensable guide for students of both Chinese and women's history synthesizes recent research on women in twentieth-century China. Written by a leading historian of China, it surveys more than 650 scholarly works, discussing Chinese women in the context of marriage, family, sexuality, labor, and national modernity. In the process, Hershatter offers keen analytic insights and judgments about the works themselves and the evolution of related academic fields. The result is both a practical Bibliographic Tool and a thoughtful reflection on how we approach the past.
