Abstract:
Locating the desired evidenced-based literature via the internet is usually time-consuming and not particularly straight-forward. Websites offering evidence-based information should be accessible, efficient and user friendly. Many of these websites, however, only make their own content available, making it necessary to change websites in order to get a complete picture of the required information. The so-called website of ''Turning Research Into Practice'' is a positive exception. This website makes it possible to search the whole range of evidence-based publications on a certain subject with 1 search action, is straight-forward and practical to use, and the presentation is exceptionally good.
