Ahhhh, it's that time of year in the UK that, depending on your level of optimism and what time you left your house, you are either wearing shorts & a t-shirt or your Winter coat, hat, gloves and scarf.

Does anyone else miss the good old days, when Google didn't use toinsist on supplying you with full colour images at the top of your search results when you are double-checking the meaning of a medical term before carrying out a lit search? #ClinicalLibrarianStuff #LiteratureSearching #GoogleWoes

From this day on, whenever anyone says the phrase 'exercise in futility' I'm going to be picturing the landscape worker I saw using a leaf blower outside work this morning in the middle of Storm Eowyn. I'm pretty sure the wind was blowing harder than the leaf blower. #BritishWeather #windy

I'm a week late, but have just found this excellent Publishing Misconduct Advent Calender. Highlighting problems in academic papers and journals, with a new example every day. #research #medical research #medical journals #critical appraisal
Happy Advent! I created a special Advent calendar designed to highlight problems and inconsistencies in academic papers and scientific journals. Each day, a new case will be published, and your task is to spot the problem.
Day 1. Enjoy!
