Scientific Information Management and Literature-Based Evaluations for the DTT - Novel Tools for SIM/Literature-based Evaluations

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

New tool/method development is a critical component of DTTs scientific information management (SIM) for literature-based evaluation-related activities, necessitated by the volume of literature to review, complex designs and varying level of reporting of research studies in the literature, and the need to prepare high quality text and graphics necessitate these activities. New tool development projects have involved development of methods to assess impact of variations in study design when assessing consistency across studies and publication bias; a tool for linking multiple controlled vocabularies for dataset comparison and other processes related to environmental health vocabulary; and development of tools to facilitate web-publishing. Keywords: Systematic review, publication
