BiomedCentral

 

 

 BioMed Central is an independent publishing house committed to providing immediate free access to peer-reviewed biomedical research. All the original research articles in journals published by BioMed Central are immediately and permanently available online without charge or any other barriers to access. This commitment is based on the view that open access to research is central to rapid and efficient progress in science and that subscription-based access to research is hindering rather than helping scientific communication. Baylor is a member of BiomedCentral which entitles all faculty and researchers the right to publish in any of the BiomedCentral journals without having to pay the article processing charge of $500 per published paper.

MedEdPORTAL The AAMC has a longstanding interest in educational technologies and mechanisms that facilitate the exchange of teaching resources, particularly materials that are costly to develop. MedEdPORTAL is a new publishing venue through which faculty may disseminate their educational works. It was designed to promote collaboration and educational scholarship by facilitating the exchange of peer reviewed teaching resources such as tutorials, virtual patients, cases (PBL, SP, OSCE), lab manuals, assessment instruments, faculty development materials, etc.

It is the only online inventory that focuses exclusively on the continuum of medical education and addresses the unique needs of medical educators. MedEdPORTAL contains information about published resources and indicates how these materials may be accessed or obtained by interested faculty.

The Citation Machine Exactly what it says, after you have done your research in virtually anything (book, newspaper, magazine, web, encyclopedia, interview etc., etc.), you simply launch the Citation Machine, type the information into the form and the citation appears. You may choose from MLA or APA format. The principle goal of this tool is to make the proper crediting of information property so easy that it becomes a habit, not a laborious task that we stop doing outside of school.
