How do I use research in my daily practice?

How do I stay up to date?

  • Subscribe to e-table of contents for journals, even if you do not subscribe to the actual journal
  • Subscribe to journals - they come to you!
  • Save searches in PubMed, CAB, etc. and have the database email you when new content matching your search is published
  • Join listservs and other professional groups
  • Subscribe to organization newsletters (AVMA SmartBrief, for example) to stay tuned into what is going on
  • Follow key players and organizations on social media (VetGirl, etc.)

How do I organize all the information that I want to use?

  • Notetaking applications, such as Evernote and OneNote, can be used to organize what you glean from research
  • Citation managers, such as EndNote, Mendeley, and Zotero, can be used to organize citations and annotate PDFs
