Resources for Evidence-based Practice

Citation Databases

Citation databases are also referred to as abstracting and indexing databases. Most of the databases contain citations to journal articles, with links to the full text of the articles whenever available.

You may access UQ's Library electronic resources (e-books, e-journals, citation databases) from off campus using your UQ username and password.

All the databases can be accessed from the UQ library's home page by doing a title search in the catalogue or by accessing them via the Health and Medical Sciences database list.

Evidence Based Databases: How do they Differ?

Evidence based databases differ from citation databases because they provide some type of evidence based analysis, synthesis and/or summary of a particular topic, study or question that will aid in evidence based decision making.

All the databases can be accessed from the UQ library's home page by doing a title search in the catalogue or by accessing them via the Health and Medical Sciences database list.
