Introducing the Cases Database

• Journal of Medical Case Reports• the first cases of their kind, expanding medical knowledge

• Cases Journal• any understandable, ethical, complete case - including everyday presentations

• Cases Database• online searchable database of case reports• allows users to comment on cases and share experience

Cases Network

• Journal of Medical Case Reports and Cases Journal are publishing thousands of case report

• Readers need to find relevant cases quickly

• Cases Db will give order to the cases

Why do we need Cases Database?

Why not just search PubMed?

• Searching key clinical info and full text vs just abstracts

• Finding open access full text vs citation + abstract

• Seeing connections between cases vs list of articles

• Search by describing your case vs just keywords

Using Cases Database

• Check a diagnosis

• Identify trends

• Find new side effects

• Find clinical images

Preview of CasesDb functionality

What’s next?

• CasesDb will be launched later this year, including all cases from JMCR and Cases Journal

• Online discussion of cases

• Inclusion of case reports from other journals
