This two-week elective will focus on developing your advanced literature searching techniques. We will dive into advanced features of PubMed, Scopus, Grey Literature databases and sources, pre-print servers, and others.
The ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) registry helps disambiguate authors and streamline research workflows by assigning unique 16-digit author identifiers that enable automatic linkages between researchers and their scholarly activities.
