ScienceRoll Medical Search
After the presentation I gave at Yale this February, all the questions of physicians focused on the problems and concerns about PubMed. And recently, Anna Kushnir expressed her thoughts on this:
For a site that is as vital to scientific progress as PubMed is, their search engine is shamefully bad. It’s embarrassingly, frustratingly, painfully bad.
And later, on the Canadian Medicine blog, another similar article was published while in the comment section, the admins of Pubmed promised to improve the search engine.
Well, I think I might have a solution for you. Check out Scienceroll Search which is a personalized medical search engine powered by Polymeta.com. You can choose which databases to search in and which one to exclude from your list. It works with well-known medical search engines and databases and we’re totally open to add new ones or remove those you don’t really like.
The improvements of this metasearch engine will only depend on your feedback. Give it a try!
You can also add the search box to your site or to your browser.
If you make a search, e.g. diabetes, you not just get some relevant results, but you can use the topic clusters to get closer to the information you need. And if there are too many results, just exclude some of the resources it searches in.
Let us know please what you think!
