Sin embargo, son muchas las investigaciones publicadas en forma dispersa y muy poco el tiempo que tienen los especialistas para la obtención de información.
Uno de los métodos más adecuados para obtener la información de una manera rápida, eficiente y confiable es haciendo uso de bibliografías especializadas. Éstas se ordenan de acuerdo con sistemas internacionales. Para elaborarlas se requiere:
1. Seleccionar cuidadosamente el tema y subtema.
2. Revisar fuentes automatizadas como MEDLINE, LILACS, BITNET Y DIALOG, o tradicionales como las tituladas INDEX, ABSTRACTS Y ADVANCES. ]]>
3. Corroborar la pertinencia y actualidad (a menudo los dos o tres años más recientes).4. Uniformar el formato.
5. Ordenarlas alfabéticamente.
6. Agregar ¨listas de revistas¨con los nombres sin abreviar.
Así, la elaboración de tales bibliografías requiere una labor profesional.
Consideramos que sería de muchísima utilidad a todos los especialistas en este campo y profesionales relacionados, el contar con bibliografías especializadas y actualizadas sobre temas específicos. Por ellos se inicia aquí una serie.
Esta es la primera parte de una bibliografía sobre el controversial tema de ´MUERTE SÚBITA´, que esperamos sea de utilidad a los distinguidos lectores de la Revista de Medicina Legal.
