Got a notification that EndNote will soon be requiring you to change your password every 180 days….I’m confident this won’t cause any issues for researchers…. Right? 😅 #medlibs

For those interested in more AI clown shenanigans 🙂 My not-so-systematic messing around with EndNote’s new research assistant chatbot to see if it picks up on clown shenanigans in the methods of PDFs #medlibs whsla-wi.blogspot.com/2025/10/clow...

OpenEvidence now seems to have a weekly query limit for non-clinicians instead of a daily one, making it even MORE difficult to test out it’s accuracy/limitations. Really??? Grrr. #medlibs

Are others unable to access the MeSH hierarchy? If so hopefully it gets fixed soon 😬 #medlibs

#medlibs looks like PubMed’s still working during the maintenance today, but the MeSH database is out of commission…..

Hey, #medlibs! People may have already seen this, but it looks like NCBI databases are undergoing an update July 26 which may last “12+ hours.” The notification sppeared in PubMed, so assuming that’ll be impacted too. ncbiinsights.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2025/07/08/n...

Guess #medlibs and others need to check every reference these days. "Exclusive: US CDC vaccine presentation cites study that does not exist, author says"

www.reuters.com/business/fin...
US CDC report shows no link between thimerosal-containing vaccines and autism
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention posted a report on Tuesday that said evidence does not support a link between thimerosal-containing vaccines and autism or other neurodevelopmental disorders, ahead of a two-day meeting of an advisory panel later this week.

PSA for Scopus users:
Hey, #medlibs , this might just be an issue with my access currently, but combining queries from the search history by manually typing numbers (e.g., #1 OR #2) doesn’t seem to be working. It does work using those checkmarks in the basic search

Also an additional FYI for #MLANET25 presenters that I don’t think you get any Q&A notifications in pheedloop, so be sure to check that tab for your presentation every once in a while! #medlibs

Hey, fellow #MLANET25 presenters! As an FYI in pheedloop if you go to the “backstage” tab they have polls & q&a section, where you can add a poll to your presentation. Not sure how many responses we’ll get, but it’s fun to play with 😊 #medlibs

Until recently, journal hijackers do not appear to have targeted titles from big publishers, in part because their well-known website designs made such clones easy to detect. Typically, cloned vers…
