Innovative New Web Interface Improves Access to UK’s Largest Free Online Life Sciences Resource

Access the Life Sciences Resource at http://ukpmc.ac.uk/.

From the Announcement:

Helping researchers access and exploit over 1.7 million full-text, peer reviewed biomedical research articles and over 19 million other life science research papers, on 12 January the British Library will showcase a whole range of new search and data mining tools designed to unlock the scientific knowledge held by UK PubMed Central.

Developed in direct consultation with researchers, UK Pub Med Central (UKPMC) aims to become the information resource of choice for the UK biomedical and health research community. Launched by Professor Dame Sally C. Davies, Director General, Research and Development at the Department of Health, the Open Beta version of UKPMC will enable researchers to search and link information from literature and drill down into underlying datasets in new and innovative ways.

[Snip]

The easy-to-use, intuitive interface developed by the British Library for the latest Beta version will enable researchers to:

+ Conduct a full-text search of 1.7 million articles
+ Access abstracts for over 19 million articles
+ Exploit the scientific literature with innovative features which enrich abstracts and full-text articles by linking scientific terms to other sources of quality assured and useful information
+ Search content not included in traditional journal literature – including clinical guidelines as well as other hard to find material such as PhD theses

Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content.

Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.

Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
