Rubicon Foundation: The Rubicon Review
The Rubicon Review
In today's world of lightning fast research and publication, it is both difficult and time consuming to stay up-to-date with the most current information. The Rubicon Review, will periodically update our new Yahoo Group with new and relevant literature in environmental physiology.
The search terms and dates for these updates are still in the final planning stages; but this is intended to be a living search process, so please post suggestions for future search topics. We welcome your advice and suggestions. We have also invited several medical librarians to join the discussion, and Ginger Carden of the Duke University Medical Center Library helped refine our first searches.
This effort -- no small task -- follows in the steps of the many great literature aggregation efforts of the past. In 1971, Gordon and Breach, along with with Science Publishers, Inc., published An Annotated Bibliography on Diving and Submarine Medicine. In 1973, Shilling and Werts, with Plenum Publishers, published Underwater Medicine and Related Sciences: A Guide to the Literature. The Undersea Medical Society (UMS, later the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society, UHMS) published later editions of the series. Following that, Pressure, the UMS newsletter, began to include a section containing new publications of interest. From 1980 to 1985, the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society, with Plenum Publishing Corporation, published the quarterly Hyperbaric Oxygen Review. And at the same time, UHMS journals also began to include new collections, called "Abstracts from Other Literature." The Rubicon Review will now continue that tradition.
The Rubicon Review
Purpose
The Rubicon Review is designed to keep researchers and others interested in the subject up-to-date on the current literature in environmental physiology. Our goal is to sift through new publications so you don't have to.
The Rubicon Review will perform four key searches per month, one each week. As forum members help create new search criteria, the process will migrate to two per week. The current subjects are these:
Week One - Hyperbaric Medicine, PubMed
Week One - All topics, US DoD DTIC (monthly)
Week Two - Aerospace Medicine, PubMed
Week Three - Diving Medicine, PubMed
Week Four - High Altitude Medicine, PubMed
We hope you find the Rubicon Review timely, useful, and most of all relevant, whether diving and environmental physiology are your profession or merely your obsession. We think this service will become your best source for current developments in the field.
