- Sources of critically appraised topics are linked here in the Evidence Pyramid
- Sources of critically appraised individual articles are linked here in the Evidence Pyramid
- Specialized journals that use predefined criteria to publish evaluated abstracts of the literature and comment on the methodology of each published study. Evidence-Based Nursing selects and summarizes the best studies, which have met predefined criteria. These are presented in the form of structured abstracts and are accompanied by expert commentaries. Special features of this journal include: Purpose and Procedure--describes in detail the criteria for selection and review of articles for abstracting. EBN Notebook--series of articles that address the process of evidence-based nursing. Glossary of Terms--presented on the inside back cover of each issue. An electronic version of Evidence Based Nursing is available to NYU and Mount Sinai Levy Library users.
