NGCIn the wake of the recent demise of the National Guideline Clearinghouse due to a loss of federal funding, the ECRI Institute has announced plan to continue to provide access to a guideline database.  ECRI Institute is an independent nonprofit organization which the United States federal government contracted with to develop and maintain the National Guideline Clearinghouse.

The ECRI will launch an initial site in Fall 2018 to allow users to search and retrieve clinical practice guidelines and will include unbiased evaluations on the rigor and transparency of guidelines based on the National Academy of Medicine's (formerly the Institute of Medicine) standards for trustworthiness.  While the National Guideline Clearinghouse was available at no cost to all users, the ECRI's guidelines' database will be freely accessible to participating guideline developers; access costs for other users, if any, are not posted at this time.

For additional information, please consult  http://www.ecri.org/guidelines, or contact ECRI Institute at guidelines@ecri.org ot 5200 Butler Pike, Plymouth Meeting, PA 19462 USA.

PlumX metrics are now available in Himmelfarb Library's Research Commons, a repository of research output for GW's Milken Institute School of Public Health, the School of Medicine and Health Sciences, and the School of Nursing.

PlumX provides non-traditional  metrics  like Altmetric (social media shares, mentions, etc.), as well as more traditional metrics including  citation indexes. PlumX provides information about what's happening with research post-publication including usage, captures, mentions, social media, and citations.

To get an idea of what PlumX can tell you about an article, check out this article by GW faculty published last year and mouse over the PlumX Metrics button on the right side of the screen:

GW-Nursing_logo_homepageA new Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Project Repository recently was developed by the School of Nursing in collaboration with Himmelfarb Library's Research Commons.

The DNP Project Repository archives all doctoral projects completed within GW’s DNP program. It is used to advance nursing practice by preserving, archiving, and sharing these projects in a permanent digital archive even after student graduation. In addition, the repository can assist current and future DNP students in developing their own projects.

The repository is an open-access site that is searchable and discoverable via search engines.  Students retain copyright of their work and receive a unique, persistent URL that can be shared with colleagues and added to their CV/resume.

The DNP Project Repository was pilot tested in October 2017 with several 2017 DNP graduates. The Repository has now gone live and DNP students graduating in May 2018 are in the process of submitting their projects.

Be sure to check them out at hsrc.himmelfarb.gwu.edu/son_dnp/.
