This is a great video, so much @13:56 I used to be an Endnote user until I found Zotero. it's free and very popular among my US friends. I found it much faster in processing the citations. Endnote has a breakpoint after 200+ papers, I had 1000+ and every time I tried to add a citation to a word document, my computer would freeze for 3 second with Endnote. Now with Zotero, it can hold up very well. Zotero also has a handy add-in button in Chrome browser to directly add paper, I highly recommend it! @16:00 Thank you for covering the topic of clinical trials, Kevin. @21:14 the rain is really loud, but I think it's more in our head. I had the same problem with my cats playing with food when I recorded the last video...
Thanks, Vera! Yes, indeed I have also experienced slower operating of my laptop once I referenced over #200 now for me and my colleague's review. And I have 16 GB RAM :D Good you mention Zotero! Still, I hope I don't need to write any document with over 200 refs again any time soon ;) Usually a research paper is something of 50 max? Yes, I think clinical trials are a must know if you're doing research on the mechanisms of a disease (or testing a preclinical therapy). After all, those clinical trials came from uncovering molecular pathways in biomedical research in many cases! I got lucky with the rain, because it also became a bit more dark and the lighting would have gotten worse, so everything came 'just in time'. Cheers!
Awesome video summarising the most important aspects of literature search! Although Pubmed is great, I also love to go to Google Scholar to browse a bit (finding more general stuff which is outside of my field). Endnote also saved my life more than once haha Looking forward to our collaboration!
Thanks for the feedback, buddy! Yes indeed, I also use Scholar now and then for 'general' things, but traditionally I was taught to use PubMed en WoS! Yes, the collab (hope the corona will diminish soon, else we have to go virtual!).
That is a different kind of question, and somewhat falls between the searching and the curating! BUT a very good question. It really depends on what you're looking for. I will make sure to address this in a follow-up video! No, it doesn't always have to be the most cited one, or hottest paper, or the one in nature of course! ;)
Good points! Nature in itself is a publishing group, so their journals and the articles they publish within them are usually accessible via the search engines and databases I mention (and your University usually pays for the subscription of course). Cell press is a publishing group that has a.o. Cell (also very high impact as Nature), and has been bought by Elsevier at the end of the 90's (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_Press). NCBI is the National Center for Biotechnology Information of the US, and on their website you can select PubMed as a database www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/. NCBI, NIH, NLM are all national US institutes and work closely together. There's many tutorials on their website, a.o. how to properly use PubMed and MeSH terms for instance!
My opinion: if you want to, go for it! This is definitely also a route into research and there's no reason why you can't become a researcher and a physician at the same time. I have (had) many professors who both practice and see patients in the clinic, while also teaching and being involved in clinical and biomedical research. But then there's also people who have the MD, but decide to go full-on for research and don't practice medicine in the clinic. In general, there's always a tendency towards the one or the other, and it takes a lot of time/effort to really immerse in both I guess. I don't think this will leave you a lot of time for any social life. Still, with MD-PhD as degrees you can also go into industry of course! Plenty of options. You just need to know them and see them, and then you can start your own journey!
@@Biomeducated Is there a specific field in science which focuses on ageing and how it could one day be stopped or reversed? And if there is, what is the name of the field? :)
@@alessandroc1456 There is indeed my friend: it's called geroscience or gerontology. Some theories proposed for ageing are the free radical theory, telomere cutting, crosslinking and AGEs (advanced glycation end-products), mitochondrial decay (linked to free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS).

This is a great video, so much

Great video! This will definitely help me with my future studies :)
By the time you start studying, you'll be so prepared that they might as well give you the exams directly ;)
@@Biomeducated Haha exactly! :)
You're brilliant
Thanks! :D haha
Great video! Explained well and very handy, I'm looking forward to similar videos!
If I ever get the time again, I will ;) too busy writing up my research now :D
@@Biomeducated Of course, good luck writing!
@@imab6455 Thanks, man! And thanks for nice feedback!
Very interesting video! Thank you
Thank you so much for watching! Cheers!
Thanks for sharing, bro. Anyway, how do you pick the paper you use? Has it to be a high impact paper?

What about nature, ncbi and cell press?
Good points! Nature in itself is a publishing group, so their journals and the articles they publish within them are usually accessible via the search engines and databases I mention (and your University usually pays for the subscription of course).

@@Biomeducated Thank you for the clarification!
@@lucabonaccio You're very welcome! Good luck searching biomedical research papers!

:)!
what of Diploma students
What's your opinion on an MD-PhD program?
My opinion: if you want to, go for it! This is definitely also a route into research and there's no reason why you can't become a researcher and a physician at the same time. I have (had) many professors who both practice and see patients in the clinic, while also teaching and being involved in clinical and biomedical research.
