FINAL EXAM Bibliographic Research
Objective of the final exam:
The objective is to find bibliographic references on "your research topic" for this master’s degree in the PubMed/Medline health bibliographic database (www.pubmed.gov).
How to proceed:
1.- Begin by writing a brief abstract (three or four paragraphs) describing the topic you are studying and explain the research question you seek to answer.
2.- Which concepts (key terms or keywords) are you choosing to focus your search?
3.- How are you going to combine the selected terms with the Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT)?
4.- Which items of the LIMITS can be helpful to refine your search?
5.- Select between 10 to 15 of the most significant references retrieved from PubMed databases and transfer them into your exam in Vancouver format.
How to send in your exam: Go into the Moodle platform, in the Subject space enter "Investigación Bibliográfica" and select the "EXAMEN FINAL" Label or follow the route: Inicio > Cursos > Anual > 11523-ANUAL > General > EXAMEN Final where you will be allowed to post your exam.
