We will review two great resources that help clinicians stay up to date. Journal Watch Physician Editorial Boards survey the medical literature, select the most important research and guidelines, distill them into focused summaries, and frame them in a clinical context. In addition, they cover the most important medical news, drug information, and public health alerts. Browzine is a platform and mobile app that enables library users to create a personal bookshelf of favorite journals, be alerted when new editions of journals are published, and easily save references to Zotero, RefWorks, Mendeley, and other services.

Increasingly, funding agencies and publishers require that researchers have ORCID IDs. This webinar will explain why ORCID IDs are both necessary and beneficial. It will address how to create and manage your ORCiD ID, set privacy settings, link your ORCID ID to eRA Commons and NCBI’s SciENcv, import your publications from various data sources, and use ORCID to populate other scholarly profiles such as NIH Biosketches.
