New study from IQWiG: You can do without searching Embase for drug studies – though that could change if something drastic happened to PubMed.

(Currently only in German.)

Week 4 of the shutdown, & PubMed had some disruption in adding records this week. They appear to have recovered on Wednesday, adding over 9,800 records in one day.

However, to be on the safe side, if you have a Plan B for critical searches, maybe start using it...(cont'd in next post)

Chart: New records each day this year during shutdown compared to last year. (Some dip on weekends is normal.)

Update pour les Mastonautes qui veulent les dernières mises à jour sur les risques encourus par PubMed :
- J'ai publié une nouvelle version de la note aujourd'hui : https://zenodo.org/records/15481800
- Si vous voulez déprimer pendant 1h15, je suis intervenu sur le sujet à MediaM la semaine dernière, et c'est sur canal-u : https://www.canal-u.tv/chaines/callisto/point-d-actualite-pubmed-sous-l-administration-trump-12052025

La grosse bonne nouvelle (qui est sortie après la vidéo), c'est le projet de la ZB MED de développer un PubMed européen ! C'est le projet OLSPub, détaillé ici (page en allemand et en anglais) : https://www.zbmed.de/forschen/laufende-projekte/olspub. La page est régulièrement mise à jour, et la ZB MED a lancé un appel à soutiens.
