Other Resources

Over the years, institutions and individuals have donated archival and old book collections to the Universidade Católica Portuguesa Libraries with the intention that they will be carefully kept, catalogued, shared, and consulted. The nature of these funds, both in terms of their documentary type and their scientific and historical foundation, as well as their state of preservation, are highly variable.

Eurostat

Eurostat is the statistical office of the European Union. Its mission is to provide high quality statistics for Europe. This platform offers a whole range of important and interesting data that governments, businesses, the education sector, journalists and the public can use for their work and daily life.

Instituto Nacional de Estatística (INE)

INE produces, in an independent manner, high-quality official statistical information, relevant for the society, while promoting the coordination, the analysis, the innovation and the dissemination of the national statistical activity and ensuring integrated data storage.

PORDATA

PORDATA collects, organizes, systematizes and disseminates data on multiple areas of society, for Portugal and its municipalities, and for the European countries. The reported statistics derive from official and certified sources, with data production skills in the respective areas.

Tools

For the development of evidence synthesis works in the Health Sciences, the UCP Libraries recommend a set of reference materials.

Guidelines
 

Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions

The official guide for preparing Cochrane systematic reviews. This handbook contains information on standard methods that apply to all types of reviews (planning, search, study selection, data collection, risk of bias assessment, and result interpretation).

Equator Network

Platform that allows to search within a set of methodological guidelines aimed at the development of different types of health research.

JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis

Designed to provide authors with a comprehensive guide to conducting JBI systematic reviews. It describes in detail the process of planning, undertaking, and writing up a systematic review using JBI methods.

PRISMA

Initiative that developed a set of tools and guidelines for the reporting of evidence-based syntheses, such as the PRISMA Checklist, the PRISMA Flow Diagram and the PRISMA Checklist for Scoping Reviews.

 


 

Thesauri
 

CINAHL Subject Headings

CINAHL specific thesaurus, designed to assist in more effectively searching in this database. Although based on MeSH, it is recommended, if applicable, to always check whether the MeSH terms collected for the investigation correspond or not to the preferred terms of CINAHL. To search the thesaurus, go to the upper menu and select the CINAHL Subject Headings option.

DeCS

Descritores em da Saúde (DeCS) is the controlled vocabulary used for indexing research outputs and other documents in the biomedical field. It corresponds to the Virtual Health Library’s translation of the MeSH vocabulary.

MeSH

Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) is the National Library of Medicine controlled vocabulary thesaurus used for indexing articles for PubMed.

 


 

Search process
 

PRISMA Checklist

Set of guiding items for the development of systematic reviews of intervention and meta-analyses.

PRISMA Flow Diagram

Representative diagram of the studies selection and screening phases in evidence synthesis works.

PRISMA Checklist [Scoping reviews]

Set of guiding items for the development of scoping reviews and corresponding protocols.

 


 

Results screening
 

Zotero

Free and open-source software to store, organize, manage, and share bibliographic references, also allowing to automatically create citations and the respective bibliographies.

Rayyan

This free web-based tool was created to assist researchers conducting systematic reviews, scoping reviews, and other knowledge synthesis projects by significantly speeding up the screening and selection process.

 


 

Protocol register
 

Figshare

Repository for preserving research data produced during the project lifecycle. For each submission, a persistent digital object identifier (DOI) is assigned, which makes the stored items easily citable.

INPLASY

International platform for the register of evidence syntheses protocols. A fee must be paid to register, update and assign a DOI to the protocols. 

Open Science Framework (OSF)

Free platform that allows the collaborative management of research projects throughout their lifecycle. The deposit of research data and protocols facilitates their reproducibility. For each submission, a persistent digital object identifier (DOI) is assigned, which makes the stored items easily citable.

Prospero

PROSPERO accepts registrations for systematic reviews, rapid reviews and umbrella reviews. PROSPERO does not accept scoping reviews or literature scans.

Zenodo

Open repository that allows researchers to deposit research papers, data sets, research software, reports, and any other research related digital artefacts. For each submission, a persistent digital object identifier (DOI) is assigned, which makes the stored items easily citable.

To facilitate the management of information resources and the elaboration of bibliographic references, the UCP Libraries suggest the use of reference management softwares:

Zotero

Web and desktop version;
Browser connector to import online references and full text PDFs;
Online groups for references sharing;
Plugin for Microsoft Word and LibreOffice;
Duplicates management.

Zotero tutorials

Mendeley
