Abstract

Sharing knowledge and experience cultivates our wisdom and understanding of the world and helps us solve complex problems, but today we must negotiate a daily information overload, which can be a daunting task. Below are 10 commonly used search platforms and databases: * CINAHL, https://health.ebsco.com/ products/the-cinahl-database * Cochrane Library, www.cochraneli brary.com * Google Scholar, http://scholar. google.com.au * MEDLINE, https://health.ebsco.com/ products/medline-complete * Ovid EmCare, www.ovid.com/site/ catalog/databases/14007.jsp * PubMed, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih. gov/pubmed/ * ScienceDirect, https://www.science direct.com * Scopus, https://www.elsevier.com/ solutions/scopus * UpToDate, https://www.uptodate. com/home * Web of Science, https://clarivate. com/products/web-of-science/ How to Search After you've identified and gained access to the literature platforms or databases, it's useful to take a structured and planned approach to searching. Conclusion As a paramedic you may be required to perform a literature search as part of your clinical practice, for studies, or for general interest.
