The training will take place in computer room 1.66 on the ground floor of the Central Library (Zbrojnice, Biskupské nám. 1), you need to reserve a place in advance.

Until the end of October 2024, access to the Cochrane Library is free throughout the Czech Republic.
The Cochrane Library is a collection of databases that contain high-quality, independent evidence to inform healthcare decision-making.
Includes:

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews
Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL)
Cochrane Clinical Answers

More than 9,300 systematic reviews and 2,300 prospectively registered systematic review protocols, over 2,100,000 clinical studies, and 3,500 clinical responses are thus available.

Palacký University has been subscribing to the Evidence-Based Medicine Reviews collection for a long time, which includes Cochrane Library resources. Therefore, university users can still use it on the Ovid platform.

A new generative artificial intelligence tool, Scopus AI, has been made available in the Scopus database, which you can use in trial mode during October 2024. This article also provides information about this tool.

We also invite you to participate in the webinar "Scopus AI: Q&A session with an expert" on Monday, 14 October at 10 am, where you will have the opportunity to address practical issues of Scopus AI.
