Journalists seeking experts to interview. Biomedical researchers seeking collaborations. Journal editors seeking reviewers.You've been around long enough to know that nothing beats a great brain. Find the people who can help you.The flood of new medical knowledge means that one human brain can no longer know all of cardiology, all of oncology, or all of any traditional specialty. That is why today's most knowledgeable doctors now specialize in just a single disease or procedure.Don't drain yourself playing the hit-and-miss game of visiting one physician after another before finding one that really knows about your medical condition or problem.When your problem is difficult or unusual, you want to consult someone who really knows their stuff. Expertscape helps you find that someone -- across the world, or near you.Expertscape's database of 29,000 different topics can point you to the world, national, or local experts for any medical condition or problem, no matter how unusual. Search on a disease, a symptom, or any other biomedical topic.It's free. Give it a try!Click a medical condition at right Or, see our big list of medical topics.Or, type your own topic into the search box at the top of the page.We believe that no one isan expert at anything unless they are investigating the leading edge of knowledgeand are writing about it. So, Expertscape bases its rankings on scientific publications.For any given topic, Expertscape follows these steps: It searches the PubMed database to findall the medical journal articles published about the topic in the past ten years. It assigns a score to each article, based on the article's year of publication(recent is better), the article's type (guidelines and reviews, for example, countmore than letters to the editor), and the journal in which the article appeared(some journals are better than others). It assigns a score to each author of the article (first author scores higher thansecond author). It determines the institution, if possible, from which the article appeared. It tallies the scores for all articles, authors, institutions, cities, regions,and countries, and then graphically outputs the results on web pages.Thus, Expertscape's rankings are 100% objective, with no elements of apopularity contest, nor any way for an institution to spin marketing dollars into a higher ranking.Furthermore, the experts listed by Expertscape have demonstrated theirexpertise by putting their knowledge on paper and getting it through the rigorousreview process that characterizes scientific publication. Of course, you will still need to research the experts to find whether they suit your needs -- we offerhints on how to do that.Our short videos provide step-by-step examples for using Expertscape.The best approach has four simple steps: Choose and review a topic. A "topic" is usually a disease or medicalcondition, but may be a symptom or any other biomedical topic.
