ORGANIZING PUBMED/MEDLINE RESEARCH WITH ASKAM
By Phil Schnyer, askSam CEO
PubMed is an on-line database of over 14 million bibliographic
citations and abstracts in medical and health related fields.
As with many information sources, PubMed offers an abundance of
accurate, authoritative, and up-to-date information, but
organizing this information for specific research interests can
be a chore. A new askSam template combined with a special PubMed
filter for TextPipe offer a powerful and easy way to organize,
search, and manage PubMed/MEDLINE information.
With askSam, you can:
* Bring the results of your PubMed research into a searchable
database.
* Search and organize the information you collect on PubMed.
* Add your own notes to the PubMed information.
* Include full-text of original source material, articles, and
reports in your askSam database.
* Output sorted lists with an overview of your information.
* Search for and delete duplicate PubMed entries.
* Work with other researchers and share the information you
collect.
* Distribute the results of your research with the free askSam
Viewer.
