Understanding Research Impact #1: Introduction
Nowadays, it is not uncommon for employers, academic institutions, and funding agencies to ask for evidence of your research impact before making important decisions, such as tenure promotions, academic honors, or grant awards. Therefore as a researcher, it is important for you to understand what research impact is, what you can do to document, enhance, measure and present your research impact to those decision makers. This series of videos will help you understand various metrics of impact, and how you can enhance your research impact and tell better "impact stories".View Tutorial Full Size (6 min 49 sec)Download tutorial...

Systematic Approaches to Searching the Health Science Literature #11: Validating, Verifying and Revising Your Searches
A systematic search is an iterative one. We need to constantly evaluate, validate, or verify our search results, and revise and re-run the searches if necessary. This video introduces techniques in validating, verifying and revising your searches.View Tutorial Full Size (7 min 16 sec)Download tutorial (MP4 file, 48.2MB) (Source: Tutorials from the Yale Medical Library)

Adding Reference Lists to Document Sections with EndNote and Word
In a multi-chapter document, how do you display a reference list at the end of each chapter, instead of a long bibliography at the end of the entire document? This is quite easy to do with the latest version of EndNote. This video demonstrates how to do that.View Tutorial Full Size (7 min 43 sec)Download tutorial (MP4 file, 31.20MB) (Source: Tutorials from the Yale Medical Library)

Systematic Approaches to Searching the Health Science Literature #10: Finding Gray Literature
An exhaustive literature search, especially one that leads to a systematic review, needs to include searches in gray literature, to overcome, or at least minimize, “publication bias” or “reporting bias”. This video introduces the rationale for searching gray literature, and the common types and sources of gray literature relevant to health science research.View Tutorial Full Size (5 min 34 sec)Download tutorial (MP4 file, 5.35MB) (Source: Tutorials from the Yale Medical Library)
