ProQuest Health & Medical

Resources
At ProQuest, were focused on enabling the best outcomes for the time users invest
in their research. We know that every improvement we make in their workflow frees
users to spend more time on their core mission. That often means conquering
barriers between them and the rich diversity of content they require.
Researchers tell us that missing relevant research literature is their number one worry, so we dig deep to
understand their requirements. We know that

They need books print and e: Researchers often need to explore deeper than a journal article allows.
Books add extra layers of context and detail to give a more comprehensive understanding of a topic.
They want working papers and conference proceedings: The peer review process can take up to two or
three years. Researchers use working papers and conference proceedings to see the latest thinking first,
with the same articles often turning up years later in peerreviewed journals.
Evidence-based content provides an on-site second opinion: Researchers are increasingly relying on
evidence-based data for practical guidance within their workflow.
Training videos provide practical how-tos: In health sciences, demonstration helps students study
independently bringing them to the lab ready to learn.

Scholarly journals remain a priority and ProQuests longstanding partnerships with premier publishers
ensures access to the best quality, but we dont stop there. ProQuests databases buoy scholarly journal
articles with the mix of content faculty and students demand training videos, monographs, working
papers, conference proceedings, reports, data.

Expertly indexed and organized, ProQuests databases empower researchers to go further, faster.
