During the Course the students will learn to correctly perform a bibliographic search on PubMed Medline, and they will know the text genres. They will train their reading skills, a language ability that will be useful for them to study and update on international scientific literature.
The Course includes review and study of the linguistic issues related to scientific research. The different types of scientific journals and scientific articles are dealt with (reviews, full papers, case reports, etc.) analyzing their particular structures. Subsequently, reading and in-depth analysis of the various medical articles are done, in order to have a relative autonomy in reading, understanding and translating the articles themselves.
