Reseña del libro "Metatextbook of Medicine 2011 subcollection of 2500 didactic free medical review articles: Metatextbook of Medicine 2011 subcollection of 2500 didacti (en Inglés)"
This is a small selected bibliography of about 2.500 references to free medical review articles which have been selected because they are of interest to pupils, students and established healthcare professionals to work as the first scientific review articles they ever read, to be a source of inspiration of where-to-go and what-to-do, and to be some self-admistered CME load to learn what is going on out there. It is a subcollection of my Metatextbook-of-Medicine on http: //www.kidney.de, which originally shows 75.000 references to free medical review articles, which are tagged to 13.000 concepts and single-term items to cover all aspects of medicine and the life sciences. While tagging references 30.000 up to 75.000, I specifically selected these few papers for inclusion of a subcollection serving those who want to be inspired by a bibliography rather than to select a random concept of 13.000 and to start from there - those professional people with essentially no knowledge on the cell cycle, on optical imaging, on running a clinical trial, on basic laboratory methodology, on treating cancer or the vasculitides - and indeed, the pupil as well as the senior physician will be enlightened by the material I referred to. Nobody can be of current knowledge on the things out of his immediate scope, but indeed, he or she should have an approach to accessing a hot spot projection out of the whole literature. Today, it needs one weeks time from formulating a search strategy for a literature database like pubmed and having collected all the papers regarded as relevant to the topic choosen. Today, the smallest ideas give 4 folders of papers, if retrieval was run with sensitive roc. Since it is not possible to apply this approach beyond single highly-targeted questions to keep up with the ideas around, I designed the whole Metatextbook as "the review collection for wikipedia" - the spirit of an encyclopedia which is devoid of any own textual contents but which refers to a multitude of barrier-free accessible originally published review articles to introduce users into a topic. I started the first 30.000 items on 3.000 topics on a default wikipedia collector and migrated into an unidirectional system of stable bibliographies which got published in early 2012 at about 60.000 items in 10.000 topics. As shown above, this special, small subcollection of random sorted papers with the appeal of showing very interesting things is like carving out Proc-Natl-Acad-Sci-U-S-A from the wealth of 35M papers published in the life sciences, and it is reminiscent of going-copying in my early 90's when starting my studies in human medicine. My readers (better, those of the authors whose work I have simply tagged and brought into focus) will enjoy having access to this small collection. You will decide whether my approach of giving you some marvellous but random stuff is something like an advent calendar, out of 24 items given, you will like one, so you have 100 little doors to open and look behind...
