Visualizing Impact with Publication Data

Abstract

The Research Medical Library (RML) contributes to clinical and academic research at MD Anderson Cancer Center by providing resources, education, and services to the faculty and staff. Librarians and scientific editors are experts in navigating the scientific writing and publishing processes. Librarians provide expert searching skills to complete literature and systematic review searches which increase the quality and rigor of the research.1 Scientific editors perform substantive and copy editing of journal articles, reports, and original research. Editorial services may improve the acceptance rate of publications.2
