Here's some technical assistance with keeping up with new research papers on B12 or PA.
You can do this by by setting up alerts via either Google Scholar or PubMed. You select a keyword and new studies mentioning that term will then pop into your email inbox as soon as they released!
The issue is that, whatever alerts you get, you all too often cannot get the paper itself. Sometimes not even an abstract or summary. Which rather defeats much of the reason for being alerted to them!
Far too many are protected by insurmountable paywalls.
Some do turn up on certain em, nefarious sites that collect such papers but I havent used the service long enough to get a good feel for how many will be retrievable in this way.
Have to say, I feel that blocking patients from information that could be life-changing feels unethical and immoral. Especially when so much that goes into research is funded by governments, etc. And even when the specific paper was not so funded, it relies on decades of papers and research that was.
It can happen - but all too often they simply are not accessible anywhere.
Ironically it can be especially bad for short items (e.g. letters to journals), and older items (when not transferred in bulk). No-one really bothers yet some of them have important observations.
Yep, there are those that just are ill call it vapor. Then there are those that have some exorbitant fee! I've come across a few that are in the hundreds of dollars. 🙃
And, these days, all too often the fee is for a 24-hour loan!
The pricing is at a level that actually would make it worth paying out for "spy" technology to use within an academic library - if you can gain access to one. OK - for most of us, surreptitious use of a mobile phone camera is secretive enough. But camera-in-spectacles might be less obvious.
True, I've actually had some success gaining access to academia by adding my business name and email in the box titled organization and email. Then what is my interest I add "Researcher". Both are true. So for some that works.Rexz
There's another I find useful, where I get email alerts that also tracks which papers you download and then starts sending other "like" papers to your inbox.
