  1. Exam Guidelines • Date: • MoedA: 02/07/2014 • MoedB: 08/08/2014 • Choice of 7 out of 8 questions in total – 12.5pts each • Allocated time – 7hrs (9:00 – 16:00) • Additional time will be given upon request.

  2. Scoring Criteria (by order of importance) • Relevance of answer to the question • Concordance between answer and citation • Relevance and accuracy of paper cited • Year • Journal • Number of citations • Length and complexity of answer

  3. Impact Factor High impact journals Low impact but high relevance Hippocampus Cerebellum Cortex • Science • Nature (+nat. neuroscience and nat. review neuroscience) • PNAS • Cell • Neuron • Journal of Neuroscience • Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience • Journal of Neurophysiology • Trends in Neurosciences • Annual Review of Neuroscience

  4. Tips for Search • Choose the right keywords – they will mostly be part of, or derive from the text of the question. Try more than one combination or use the ‘advance search’ functionality to get optimal coverage. • Search for keywords (ctrl-F) within papers that touch the subject but don’t necessarily deal with it directly (such as review papers) • Alternate between PubMed and Google scholar. • Use PubMed when you want to sort your results by date of publication (best when looking for the most recent research papers/reviews) • Use Google scholar when you want to sort by relevance. • In many cases, Google search and wikipedia can also be helpful. • Write your answers on a word file first and then copy them to the moodle in order to avoid the loss of unsaved data.
