BMJ Evidence Updates

The BMJ Group and McMaster University’s Health Information Research Unit have collaborated to provide you with access to the current best evidence from research.  This free service offers a searchable database of the best evidence from the medical literature (over 120 premier clinical journals), an email alerting system and links to selected evidence-based resources.  In detail, the current features include:

• a systematic review of over 120 journals, including the quarterly updates of the Cochrane Library
• ratings of each eligible article for clinical relevance and newsworthiness
• email alerts about new evidence tailored to the user’s interests
• links to summaries and full text articles where available
