What tasks did you complete this week? (Include links) 1.Different Platform covers"Neuroarchitecture"
a. ”BioMed Central” is an open access journal in the field of biomedicine. I searched and obtained 27 papers on “neuroarchitecture”;
b. “CINAHL” is a database of nursing and allied health literature, which usually requires login to “EBSCOhost”, but GT has access to “CINAHL Complete”. I searched and obtained 8 results on “neuroarchitecture;
c. "ClinicalTrials.gov" is a publicly accessible database of privately and publicly funded clinical studies conducted around the world. The literature search tool: "PubMed" found 237 papers on “neuroarchitecture”, the "PubMed Central" database obtained 1194 papers on “neuroarchitecture”, and the "NLM Catalog" obtained one result.
d. "Embase" is an online literature database focusing on the fields of biomedicine and pharmacy, operated by "Elsevier". It is one of the world's largest biomedical databases and is particularly important in drug research and development, clinical medicine and drug safety research. However, I do not have access to "Embase", but I do have access to Science Direct, and I found 637 results for “neuroarchitecture” from 2008 to 2024.
e. "Google Scholar" is a free and open search engine for scholarly literature in many disciplines. Searching for “neuroarchitecture” (2024: 484, 2023: 1190, 2020: 2690)
f. "MEDLINE" is a bibliographic database of life science and biomedical information. GT has access to it. Searching for “neuroarchitecture” from 2014 to 2024, there are 89 Academic Journals.
g. "PsycINFO" is a bibliographic database of psychology and behavioral science literature, which is also searchable and accessible via "EBSCOhost". With access granted, there are 38 results for “neuroarchitecture” in academic Journals, 4 results in books, and 2 results in dissertations for 2014-2024.
h. "Scopus" is a large abstract and citation database covering peer-reviewed literature from various disciplines. It is part of "Elsevier", along with “Embase” and “Science Direct”. A search for “neuroarchitecture” returned 283 results.
i. "Web of Science" is a comprehensive academic literature database and citation indexing platform operated by "Clarivate Analytics" that covers multiple disciplines such as natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, arts, and engineering. A search was conducted and 291 results were found for “neuroarchitecture”.
j. "WHO Data" Collection is a comprehensive collection of data and information on global health, a data set and information integration platform that supports public health research, policymaking, and data-driven decision-making. No results were found for “neuroarchitecture”. 2.Some answer of "Coevidence"
a.Covidence is a cloud-based platform designed to simplify the review process for literature reviews, including titles and abstracts. b.Why should we use that: For the first function is collaboratively managing unlimited references and PDFs, which greatly improves our reading and summarizing efficiency.; Second, customizethe screening process, full-text reviews, critica appraisals, and data extraction. Last, keep a detailed record of each step in th reviews. c. It includes:1.Systematic literature reviews (SLRs):SLR provides reliable results by organizing a number of evidence in the paper to answer specific research questions. First, relevant questions are searched for, and then the search results are screened using previously specified inclusion and exclusion criteria to determine whether they meet the requirements. Finally, the final results are summarized and presented. 2.Rapid reviews:Quickly conduct a systematic review based on pre-defined questions, using pre-specified search and filter methods.
3.Umbrella reviews or Overview of reviews：Combining multiple screening or evaluation systems, more research questions, and comprehensive research results. 4.Scoping reviews:Filter according to the scope of the filter, not a specific filter question. 5.Literature reviews or narrative reviews d.Understand the specificity of the problem to be studied. If it is a particularly clear screening condition, use SLR; if the subject is broader, there is less literature or the research type is very diverse, use a scope review; if there are a large number of relevant studies, simply use literature reviews or narrative reviews. Rapid reviews are also very good. Not only do they quickly search and summarize, but they also give us a preliminary understanding of the problem under study so that we can delve deeper. 3.Create a brief summary of the key takeaways of "Covidence 101" presentation and the platformFirst, accept the invitation from Dr. Haas and create your individual account. Start a new review by selecting the appropriate settings, particularly focusing on choosing extraction tools and setting the eligibility criteria under the review settings. Next, import your references (often selecting the "screen" option). Proceed with the "Title and Abstract Screening" step, where you will choose to include or exclude references. Then, move on to the full-text review and extraction stages, where you'll set up the Data Extraction and Quality Assessment templates. Finally, complete the process by exporting your results, and also export prisma. Platforms: "Upcoming webinars","Knowledge Base" for helping resources. 4.Summarize how to read a scientific article.
Summarize for reading an academic papers efficiently: First, read actively and frequently in three times: first, skim the paper briefly; second, try to understand the content of the paper, focusing on the structure, charts and data; third, read while taking notes and thinking critically. When quickly understanding a paper, focus on the abstract, the purpose and method overview in the introduction, and the conclusion to grasp main findings of the research. Distinguishing between different types of articles (such as method, review, commentary, etc.) can help clarify the focus of each type of article and further understand their intent. Maintain a friendly attitude and affirm every paper you read, while maintaining a critical thinking mindset, and thinking about how to further develop research in your own field and expertise. When reading, analyze charts and tables one by one to understand the data sources, identify the experimental groups and variables, and pay attention to the legends and titles.
Reading order is to first read the abstract to quickly understand the research, results, and interpretation, then read the introduction to understand the motivation for the research, then quickly browse the charts and data in the results section, and finally read the discussion and conclusion section to understand the significance of the results. The methods section can be left until last to assess the replication of the research and the method appropriateness.
Before reading, you can use a scientific dictionary (www.AccessScience.com)to look up unfamiliar terms and notebook(Mind maps） 5.203 papers were selected from various databases and uploaded to Zetero.
-
Tasks are still ongoing? Current status? 1.Papers related to “neuroarchitecture” not yet indexed in the “web of science” database to Zetero. 2.I have only understood the basic concepts of “Coevidence” and how to use it, and have not started practical training. 3.The paper on “neuroarchitecture” is still at the conceptual level. Starting next week, I will continue to learn from the 203 papers collected this week. Challenges and Learning
-
What was the biggest challenge you faced this week? How did you address it? 1.When learning about various databases, it is awkward to go to various websites to search for terms related to “neuroarchitecture”. In the end, I found that going to the GT library and directly searching for the corresponding database is simple, direct, and efficient. 2.Unfamiliar with the functions of “Covidence”, lack of training in practical application, and only stay at the conceptual level from"upcoming webinar" anf "knowledge base".
-
What's one new thing you learned or skill you improved? 1.Learn about the various platforms related to "neuroarchitecture" and quickly collect relevant papers from the database, and upload to Zotero. 2.Learned how to read a scientific paper quickly and "Covidence".
-
Did you attend any team meetings? Key takeaways? I attended the first Neuroarchitecture zoom meeting on Wednesday(9.11), and solve my question about"emotion mode" and learned how to read papers and how to write literature review.
Reflection and Planning
- Your progress this week? 207 papers related to “neroarchitecture” were searched in 10 databases. Learn how to read each paper well and understand “Covidence.”
- Main focus for next week? 1.Weekly tasks from Dr. Hass and Dr. Kastner 2.Continue to read "neuroarchitecture" paper. 3.Proficiency in the practical use of Covidence.
