Google custom search for OA medical sources

Creators & Contributors

Dean Giustini has used Google Custom Search to create a search engine for OA medical sources that he calls Google Medicine.

Comment.  Google has made it very easy to set up powerful search engines for particular sites or topics.  (Yesterday I made one for my blog, newsletter, and writings on OA.)  I expect to see specialty search engines --like Dean's-- spread quickly to every conceivable research niche.  Of course each one will be optimized for OA content. 

Suggestion to Dean:  drop Wikipedia and stick to peer-reviewed sources or make a second version that sticks to peer-reviewed sources.
