Web of Science is a comprehensive and widely used research database and citation indexing platform that plays a crucial role in supporting researchers throughout the process of publishing their research articles. Web of Science is an indispensable resource for researchers at various stages of the publication process.
It assists in finding relevant literature, searching for publications of authors, searching for publications on a research topic, assessing the impact of research, connecting with peers, selecting good journals, and staying informed about the latest developments in the research field. These capabilities ultimately contribute to the successful publication of research articles and the advancement of knowledge in the academic community. Researchers can harness the power of Web of Science to enhance their research and ensure that their work reaches a broader and more influential audience.
PubMed is a free resource supporting the search and retrieval of biomedical and life sciences literature with the aim of improving health–both globally and personally.
The PubMed database contains more than 36 million citations and abstracts of biomedical literature. It does not include full text journal articles; however, links to the full text are often present when available from other sources, such as the publisher's website or PubMed Central (PMC).
Available to the public online since 1996, PubMed was developed and is maintained by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), at the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM), located at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
About the Content
Citations in PubMed primarily stem from the biomedicine and health fields, and related disciplines such as life sciences, behavioral sciences, chemical sciences, and bioengineering.
PubMed facilitates searching across several NLM literature resources like Medline, Pubmed Central (PMC) and Bookshelf.
MEDLINE
MEDLINE is the largest component of PubMed and consists primarily of citations from journals selected for MEDLINE; articles indexed with MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) and curated with funding, genetic, chemical and other metadata.
PubMed Central (PMC)
Citations for PubMed Central (PMC) articles make up the second largest component of PubMed.
PMC is a full text archive that includes articles from journals reviewed and selected by NLM for archiving (current and historical), as well as individual articles collected for archiving in compliance with funder policies.
Bookshelf
The final component of PubMed is citations for books and some individual chapters available on Bookshelf.
Bookshelf is a full text archive of books, reports, databases, and other documents related to biomedical, health, and life sciences.

To help the faculty and the students with their research related activities so that their articles are published in the above journals, several e-resources have been provided. These include access to :
- UP TO DATE
- OSMOSIS
- RESEARCH TO PUBLICATION (UCSF/BMJ)
- QMED
- CLINICAL KEY
- COCHRANE
- OMED FOUNDATION COURSE
- KARGER
- CUREUS
- BMJ Journal
- BMJ Case Reports
- BMJ Research to Publication
- Knowledge Hub
RESEARCH TO PUBLICATION (UCSF/BMJ) :
Research to Publication is a research methodology and publishing programme specifically designed for doctors and healthcare researchers, brought to students and faculty members by BMJ in collaboration with University of California, San Francisco (UCSF).
There are 8 multimedia courses which are focused entirely on healthcare research. BMJ’s research editors and UCSF’s academics guide learners through the entire process, from designing a study to seeing it published in an international journal.
Interactive self-study modules give learners the skills necessary to conduct investigations and overcome the challenges associated with getting published in international journals.
QMedCourses by QMed Knowledge Foundation:
As a student or a health professional, one has spent many hours in literature searching and referencing for one’s research. As a faculty member, one may have to reject protocols / publications that had old or irrelevant references or the citations and references are in the wrong style.
The root cause for this is that medical studentsare not taught the structured methods of literature searching and referencing in the medical curriculum.
QMed Knowledge Foundation - has hosted courses that help anyone - from a UG student upwards to learn these skills. Dr. D. Y. Patil Medical College, Hospital & Research Centre has subscribed these for all students and faculty members of the institution.
These e-Learning courses can be done at one’s own pace, by viewing the recorded videos at our convenience. "Learn in bytes", as much as one can in a day. As one learns a specific skill, one gets a "badge" for that skill. Then one can try out the MCQs to make sure one has learnt that information in the correct manner. Once one has done the final assessment, one can download a certificate. One can take the final assessment as many times as you wish to.One can perfect one’s learning and retain the certificate with the highest score.
One can save hours in searching and referencing and use the time saved for one’s actual research, thus reducing or eliminating the possibility of rejection of one’s publications.
UPTODATE :
UpToDate gives concise updated information on various clinical topics, calculates various information regarding different health parameters, gives information on drug-drug interactions, gives information on various pathways. All the clinical information and drug related information provided can be also accessed on the mobile phone and is useful patient management and also for accessing the clinical information while carrying out or writing research projects.
COCHRANE INTERACTIVE LEARNING (CIL):
Cochrane Interactive Learning (CIL) is a modular, self-directed, educational tool for researchers performing systematic reviews. With the volume of published and unpublished biomedical evidence growing exponentially each day, systematic reviews are critical tools for informing clinical practice and decision-making. Both new and experienced researchers must adhere to a rigorous set of standards to produce unbiased and transparent systematic reviews, and robust training is necessary to learn the complex requirements of the methodology. CIL provides an accessible, well-designed, step-by-step guide for navigating the systematic review process.
CIL was developed by the Cochrane Learning and Support Department in collaboration with multiple e-learning partners. All of the modules are in accordance with the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions and the Methodological Expectations of Cochrane Intervention Reviews.
Completion of all nine modules will take more than ten hours on average, and the content is monitored by Cochrane staff and updated regularly. The CIL modules are divided into multiple sections, and each module opens with a guide to content navigation. A filtering tool sorts content by status or topic, and a status bar at the top of each section tracks progress. A “Cochrane Tips” icon appears next to content that is specific to Cochrane Reviews and links to a pop-out box with more information. A “Resources” button links to relevant content in the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Re-views of Interventions.
At the end of each module, there is a self-assessment that includes multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank questions based on the learning outcomes for that module. Users are given two attempts to answer each question correctly before they are directed back to the appropriate page to revisit their learning in that area.
A personalized certificate is available for download after successful completion of each assessment.
PUBLICATIONS IN BMJ JOURNALS, KARGER JOURNALS AND CUREUS JOURNAL:
Students and faculty at Dr D Y Patil Medical College, Hospital and Research Centre have access to publish in the indexed journals of BMJ, Karger and the journal CUREUS. In the Karger subscription, the students and faculty have a list of 102 journals in which they can publish their manuscripts. In the BMJ subscriptions, a list of 64 journals are available to our postgraduates and faculty members for publication.
The faculty and postgraduates have been involved with carrying out research projects and publishing in Scopus, WOS and Pubmed indexed journals. The number of publications during the period from 2014 to 2024 is provided in the graphs given below:
