The Health Sciences Research Commons continues to grow on a daily basis, allowing medical and health sciences researchers and scholars affiliated with the George Washington University to disseminate their research around the world. As we review our highlights from last year and this year, we’re happy to announce that “Improved Outcomes Associated With an Early Mobilization Protocol Among Hip and Knee Replacement Patients” by Emily Emma, a graduate of the Doctor of Nursing Practice program, is currently one of the HSRC’s most accessed articles. This entry has garnered over 5000 downloads between August 2019 and October 2020 and in total has been downloaded over 9,000 times since it was first archived in the repository in late 2017. As an online repository, the HSRC is an easily accessible tool that has countless benefits for scholars and researchers who are in the early stages of their careers or those who are relatively new to the world of academic publishing.
Archiving your work within the HSRC allows you to contribute to the ongoing dialogue within the medical research field. For students who wish to preserve any final presentations or research papers, the HRSC provides a working link that can be placed on a resume or CV. Your work is also discoverable via Google Scholar or other search engines. If you are unsure of what to do with a final project, presentation or poster, consider archiving it within the HSRC!
Have additional questions about the HSRC and how it can help you? Reach out to Sara Hoover, the Metadata and Scholarly Publishing Librarian,via email at shoover@gwu.edu. If you have research that you would like to archive within the repository, please send an email to hsrc@gwu.edu. We’re more than happy to archive your work and help you share it with the global medical research community!
