Resources & assistance for speech/language research (Communication Sciences & Disorders.)

Databases by Topic

Anatomy, physiology, medico-surgical-pharmaceutical treatments:

PubMed well over 26 million records including articles, editorials, comments, news, practice guidelines, consensus statements. Very international. Covers above topics plus health policy, health economics & financing; health services administration

Embase - European-based pharmacy, biomedical, surgical treatment, prognosis, practice management, vet med, dental literature

Cochrane Library - evidence-based (mostly clinical) medicine. Includes databases covering systematic reviews exclusively done by Cochrane's review groups (current gold standard of evidence), systematic reviews by others, technology assessments, economic evaluations, methods studies.

 

Rehabilitation, treatments others than clinical medicine, pharmacy, surgery; health services administration:

CINAHL (Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature) - in the Ebsco suite of databases

REHABDATA US and international research articles, books, reports, and multimedia specifically on rehabiliation/disabilities/universal design, with crosswalk to the ICF (International Classification of Functioning,Disability and Health) thesaurus 

SpeechBite - small database of evidence of speech therapy "best interventions and treatment efficacy" Not necessary to be connected thru UF's VPN or Proxy to access.
