The first batch of bound journals is now being moved to dumpsters, but – don’t worry – this journal content is available online and the volumes will be sent to a recycling company.
When the transition is completed the reclaimed floor space will be redesigned to support additional study alternatives. (Source: What's New on JEFFLINE)

Trials in PubMed Linking to Systematic Reviews
PubMed Health’s curated collection of systematic reviews now has an important new role: enabling PubMed users to go straight from a clinical trial to systematic reviews that have considered it. Visitors to records of many thousands of trials will now see a new section, called a portlet, to the right. It will show links to systematic reviews in PubMed that have cited that trial. For example, people visiting the NIH-funded Women’s Health Study publication on beta-carotene supplementation would see the “Cited by 9 systematic reviews” portlet pictured here:
The 9 systematic reviews are identified by Pub...

The site will indicate which articles are:
Highly cited
Highly saved
Highly discussed
