Using Google Reader to keep up with Clinical & Translational Science literature

Google Reader is a web-based tool used to organize on-line content from websites into one place for easy access and viewing.  It is one of many readers (also known as feed aggregators) that can be used to organize the latest updates from your scientific journals of choice into one place.  At the Research Commons, we use Google Reader to keep up with Clinical & Translational Science (CTS) literature directly from on-line journals, PubMed and the Web of Science.

Here is what our Google Reader looks like:

To set up your own Google Reader, watch the following video: Getting Started with Google Reader (2minutes).  Or follow the directions at the Google Reader Help Center. 

Once you have your Google Reader set-up, consider subscribing to the following journals:

Journal of Translational Medicine
This is an open access, peer-reviewed online journal focusing on information derived from human experimentation so as to optimize the communication between basic and clinical science.

CTS: Clinical and Translational Science
This is a peer-reviewed journal that highlights investigative work bridging the gap between laboratory discovery and practice.
