Electronic databases of scientific

and medical information.

Reviewing and Expert evaluation

Electronic databases
of scientific and
medical information
 The main task of this international
Cochrane organization is to create, update
Cooperation and disseminate systematic
reviews of the results of medical
interventions, which should
facilitate stakeholders in decision-
making in various fields of medicine
Systematic reviews - the main result of the Cochrane Cooperation -
are regularly published in electronic form under the name "Cochrane
Database of Systematic Reviews" (Cochrane Database of Systematic
Reviews). International problem groups are involved in compiling and
updating the Cochrane Reviews. The group is attended by
researchers, doctors, representatives of consumer organizations - all
who are interested in obtaining reliable, up-to-date and relevant
information in the field of prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of
various diseases
 the spirit of cooperation;

enthusiasm of the participants;

Cochrane
Cooperation no duplication in the work;

is based on minimization of prejudices and systematic errors;

eight constant updating of data;

principles: relevance of reviews;

availability of reviews;

constant improvement of quality of work

 The Cochrane Electronic Library
consists of four separate databases

The Cochrane database of systematic reviews - contains final reviews and review
protocols that are being prepared.
The Cochrane Register of Controlled Trial - a bibliographic database of all identified
controlled test publications.
The abstract database of reviews on the effectiveness of medical interventions - contains
structured abstracts of those systematic reviews that have been critically evaluated by
the staff of the York Center for Compilation and Dissemination of Reviews (UK).
The Cochrane database on the methodology of examinations - a bibliography of articles
on methods of synthesis and analysis of clinical trial results

To select the material
and the author, you can
evaluate the work and
its significance
Citation index

a measure of the significance of the scientific work

of any scientist or research team accepted in the
scientific world. The value of the citation index is
determined by the number of references to the
publication, or to the author's name in other
sources
Hirsh index, or h-index

a scientometric indicator that is a quantitative

characteristic of the productivity of a scientist, group of
scientists, scientific organization or the country as a whole.
The mechanism for calculating the Hirsch index is quite
simple: the Hirsch index is equal to N if a scientist (scientific
institution) has published N scientific articles, each of which
has been cited at least N times. All other articles were cited
less than N times
Impact factor

an indicator of citation of scientific journals, which

determines their informational significance. Today
it is recognized that the impact factor of the
journal is one of the formal criteria by which you
can compare the level of research in related fields
of knowledge
I-10 index

is a citation index, which means that a scientist (journal,

organization, country) has published at least 10 papers,
each of which has been cited 10 or more times. The
number of works cited less than once can be any
 bibliographic and abstract database, a
tool for tracking citations of scientific
publications.

Scientometric
database the scientometric database is also a
search engine that generates statistics
that characterize the state and dynamics
of demand, activity and impact indices of
individual scientists and research
organizations
SCOPUS

the largest abstract interdisciplinary scientometric

database and a tool for tracking citations of
articles published in scientific journals. Indexes
scientific journals, conference proceedings and
serials
WEB of SCIENCE

the world's most authoritative analytical and

citation database of journal articles of the
Philadelphia Institute of Scientific Information. It
contains a system for correcting the identification
of scientists and takes into account all citations in
scientific papers that are placed in it
 a free access search engine that
Google provides full-text search of scientific
Scholar publications of all formats and
disciplines. The service takes into
account the total number of
citations, the total number of cited
publications and the Hirsch index
Index Copernicus

an online scientometric database with information

about the authors of publications, research
institutions, publications and projects. It has several
performance assessment tools that allow you to
track the impact of research papers and
publications, individual scientists or research
institutions
