PubMed Redesign
The NLM® has implemented the redesign of the PubMed interface. The previous version is no longer available. According to the NLM®, the interface was simplified to make it easier to use while promoting scientific discovery. Please note that search processing, including Automatic Term Mapping, has not changed. For more information about the changes, please see:

New publication on disseminating research findings
The Community Alliance for Research and Engagement (CARE) has published “Beyond Scientific Publication: Strategies for Disseminating Research Findings“. CARE is part of the Yale Center for Clinical Investigation (YCCI), one of the CTSAs established in 2006. This guide provides key strategies for dissemination, including practical advice and specific templates you can adapt for your use.
Here a description of the publication (p. 1):
A community research partnership is ideally part of a larger collaboration that includes the interests of each partner and spans a wide range of activities. Often a neglected afterthought in busy research schedules, the dissemination of key findings upon project completion is a crucial step in community-based research. In fact, we believe that researchers have an ethical obligation to ensure that research findings are disseminated to research participants, as well as other individuals and institutions in the communities in which we work. In an effort to increase ease and efficiency, this document provides key strategies for dissemination, including practical advice and specific templates you can adapt for your use. Through this strategic dissemination approach, CARE intends to distribute salient findings to affected communities, participant agencies, health departments, researchers, policy makers, and health advocacy groups. We hope this will help you to do the same.
