From our CEO
|
|
|
|
As we close 2025, I am heartened by the steady momentum QMed Knowledge Foundation has built through the year. From January to December, we engaged with students, faculty, librarians, and health professionals across diverse institutions through lectures, workshops, webinars, and self-paced learning, reinforcing the importance of structured literature searching and accurate referencing.
|
Our reach continued to grow through QMedCourses, reflecting a sustained demand for practical research skills across health disciplines. We also contributed to important national conversations on access to scholarly resources, while emphasising that access must go hand-in-hand with the ability to use information well. Completing the utilisation of our first educational grant marked a significant milestone in our capacity-building journey.
|
As we look ahead, we warmly invite those who believe in strengthening research skills and evidence-based practice to support our work at www.qmed.ngo/give.
|
Wishing you the best of the season!

Punctuality & Responsibility In Conferences & Webinars
|
“Indian punctuality” is a well-known phrase—unfortunately, not in a flattering sense. We often joke about “Indian Stretchable Time (IST)”, but the humour hides a persistent problem: punctuality (or the lack of it) in conferences and webinars, especially in professional and academic settings. When Time Truly Matters Broadly, two kinds of situations shape how seriously people treat time. In the first, …

Why Systematic Review Searches Need Proper Budgets
|
We often are asked: “Can you help us with our systematic review search strategy?”Sometimes it is “Could you please guide us?” and at other times it is “Could you do the whole search for us?” At QMed, we are happy that people recognize the importance of a proper search strategy—but the bigger concern is this: many still assume that carrying …
