Which one of the followings must undergo a peer-reviewing process before published?
- A.
Scientific article
- B.
News article
- C.
Both of them
- D.
None of them
Correct Answer
A. Scientific articleExplanation
Scientific articles must undergo a peer-reviewing process before they are published. This process involves experts in the field critically evaluating the article for its scientific validity, methodology, and significance. Peer review helps ensure the accuracy, quality, and credibility of scientific research. On the other hand, news articles do not necessarily undergo the same rigorous peer-review process, as they are often based on reporting and interpretation of information rather than original scientific research.Rate this question:

Which one of the followings is better to represent concepts or steps in a process?
- A.
Flow chart
- B.
Pie chart
- C.
Line chart
- D.
Bar chart
Correct Answer
A. Flow chartExplanation
A flow chart is better to represent concepts or steps in a process because it visually depicts the sequence of actions or decisions in a clear and organized manner. It uses different shapes and arrows to show the flow of information or activities, making it easier to understand and follow the process. Flow charts are commonly used in various fields such as software development, project management, and business analysis to illustrate complex processes and identify potential bottlenecks or inefficiencies.Rate this question:

Which one of the followings is an academic journal?
- A.
TIME
- B.
JAMA
- C.
The Independent
- D.
The Guardian
Correct Answer
B. JAMAExplanation
JAMA is an academic journal because it stands for the Journal of the American Medical Association. Academic journals are scholarly publications that contain articles written by experts in a specific field of study. JAMA specifically focuses on medical research and is peer-reviewed, meaning that articles are evaluated by other experts in the field before publication. This distinguishes it from general news publications like TIME, The Independent, and The Guardian, which cover a wide range of topics and do not necessarily adhere to the rigorous standards of academic research.Rate this question:

In Pubmed, you are searching articles satisfing all : contain "pneumonia" with MeSH terms, contain "therapy" in titles and abstracts, published by JAMA journal. Which of the followings is the best search term and results?
- A.
((pneumonia[mesh]) AND therapy[tiab]) AND "jama"[Journal] ==> 50-70 articles.
- B.
((pneumonia[all]) AND therapy[tiab]) AND "jama"[journal] ==>70-90 articles
- C.
((pneumonia[mesh]) AND therapy[tw]) AND "jama"[Journal] ==> 210-230 articles
- D.
((pneumonia[tw]) AND therapy[mesh]) AND "jama"[Journal] ==> 265-285 articles
Correct Answer
A. ((pneumonia[mesh]) AND therapy[tiab]) AND "jama"[Journal] ==> 50-70 articles.Explanation
The correct answer is ((pneumonia[mesh]) AND therapy[tiab]) AND "jama"[Journal] because it combines the MeSH term "pneumonia" with the keyword "therapy" in the titles and abstracts, and limits the search to articles published by the JAMA journal. This search strategy is likely to yield the most relevant and specific results, resulting in 50-70 articles. The other options either use different search fields or different combinations of MeSH terms and keywords, which may lead to a larger number of articles that may not be as relevant.Rate this question:

You want to export citations from Pubmed into Endnote, which one is the best choice after clicking on "Send to" button on Pubmed?
- A.
Collections
- B.
Citation Manager
- C.
Order
- D.
File
Correct Answer
D. FileExplanation
After clicking on the "Send to" button on Pubmed, the best choice for exporting citations into Endnote would be the "File" option. This option allows you to save the citations as a file, which can then be imported into Endnote for further use. The "Collections" option would be used to save articles within your Pubmed account, while the "Citation Manager" option is used for exporting citations to other reference management software. The "Order" option is unrelated to exporting citations.Rate this question:

Zotero programme saves your references even after you export them. In order not to having trouble with duplicates performing next exporting, you need to clear your previous Zotero library. Which one of the following is the best choice?
- A.
View online
- B.
Move items to Trash....
- C.
Show File
Correct Answer
B. Move items to Trash....Explanation
To avoid duplicate references when exporting, the best choice is to "Move items to Trash." This option allows you to remove the references from your Zotero library, ensuring that they won't be exported again in the future. By moving the items to the trash, you can easily manage and organize your references without cluttering your library with duplicates.Rate this question:

In order to import references from unpopular sources( like clinicaltrials.gov), Thomson Reuters provides further "Import Filters" which are usually not available in default Endnote version. Is this statement True or False?
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Thomson Reuters provides additional "Import Filters" for Endnote to import references from unpopular sources like clinicaltrials.gov. This implies that the statement is true. These filters are not usually available in the default version of Endnote, suggesting that the correct answer is indeed true.Rate this question:

Google Scholar provides filter for type of articles.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
Google Scholar does not provide a filter for the type of articles. While it allows users to search for scholarly literature, including articles, the platform does not have a specific filter to narrow down the search results based on the type of articles. Users can refine their search using other filters such as date range, author, and publication, but not by the type of article. Therefore, the statement is false.Rate this question:

If you want to search for unpublished articles, which one of the followings are the appropriate choices?
- A.
Http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/
- B.
Http://www.nyam.org/library/
- C.
Https://scholar.google.com/
- D.
Http://www.nejm.org/
Correct Answer(s)
B. Http://www.nyam.org/library/
C. Https://scholar.google.com/Explanation
The given answer choices, http://www.nyam.org/library/ and https://scholar.google.com/, are appropriate choices for searching unpublished articles. The website http://www.nyam.org/library/ is the website of the New York Academy of Medicine Library, which is known for its extensive collection of unpublished materials. Scholar.google.com is a widely used search engine for scholarly articles, including unpublished research. Both of these options provide access to resources that can help in finding unpublished articles.Rate this question:

Which one of the followings brings us the highest level of evidence?
- A.
Case series
- B.
Case-control
- C.
Randomized controlled trial
- D.
Meta-analysis
Correct Answer
D. Meta-analysisExplanation
Meta-analysis brings us the highest level of evidence because it is a statistical technique that combines the results from multiple studies on a specific topic. By pooling the data from different studies, meta-analysis provides a more comprehensive and reliable estimate of the effect size or outcome being studied. It allows for a larger sample size, increasing statistical power and reducing the risk of random error. Meta-analysis also provides a quantitative measure of the overall effect, allowing for more precise conclusions to be drawn.Rate this question:

- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The link provided leads to a specific research article on the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) website. Without actually accessing the link, it is not possible to determine if it is a systematic review or not.

You are trying to recognize if an article is a meta-analysis. Which of the followings is NOT an appropriate signal?
- A.
Forest plot
- B.
Pooled result
- C.
2*2 table
- D.
Random-effects model
Correct Answer
C. 2*2 tableExplanation
A 2*2 table is not an appropriate signal to recognize if an article is a meta-analysis. A 2*2 table is commonly used in diagnostic test studies or observational studies to present data on sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value. It is not specific to meta-analyses, which typically involve the synthesis of data from multiple studies to estimate an overall effect size. Therefore, a 2*2 table does not provide a direct indication of whether an article is a meta-analysis or not.Rate this question:
