Scientific Publishing Seminars – February 23 and April 20

Please join us for two upcoming seminars in Emory’s Scientific Publishing series (parts 2 and 3):

Part 2: “DataMed: A Discovery Index for the NIH Big Data to Knowledge Commons”
Date: Thursday, February 23, 2017
Time: 11 a.m.
Location: Rollins School of Public Health, Rita Anne Rollins Room, 8th Floor
Speaker: Lucila Ohno-Machado, MD, PhD (Professor of Medicine, University of California San Diego; Chair, Department of Biomedical Informatics; Associate Dean for Informatics and Technology; Editor-in-Chief, JAMIA)

This seminar will focus on DataMed (the new PubMed for research data) and the importance of publicly available research data. Come learn about this brand-new research data discovery engine that will undoubtedly become the standard search engine for finding publicly available research data. Refreshments will be served.

 

 

Part 3 “Getting your science published and noticed”
Date: Thursday, April 20, 2017
Time: 1:30 p.m.
