Evidence-based practice research centers
The following links are for websites of various evidence-based research centers. While these sites are not a source for finding full text articles, exploring them may provide context for where evidence-based research comes from and may also show developing research trends. Many centers also offer general information about conducting evidence-based research on their sites.
- Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ)AHRQ produces evidence resources and training, including continuing education tools and evidence-based reports.
- Cochrane CollaborationSee popular trends in evidence-based research topics or information about upcoming trials on the Cochrane website. Note: To search Cochrane for full text systematic reviews, please use the Library's subscription: Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews
- Duke University Medical Center Library & Archives: Evidence-Based PracticeA selective list of additional EBP websites developed and maintained by Duke University Medical Center Library & Archives.
- University of York: Centre for Reviews and DisseminationFrom the University of York, this Centre produces systematic reviews and also offers training modules on evidence-based research.
