Abstract

Imagine you are starting to work on a new topic, such as endoscopy. First, you will gather together all the literature you have collected about endoscopy. Second, you may carry out a systematic literature search with MEDLINE, or some other data base — as described in the preceding chapter — to get the most recent publications. You may also talk to appropriate specialists to get leads to some key papers or the most recent books on the topic.
