Students and new grads
University-grade evidence, after you graduate.
Cited, NHMRC-graded evidence for students and new graduates — the literature search you learned at university, without the university login. Free while you are enrolled.
Don't include patient names or identifiers in your query.
What clinicians in students and new grads use it for
The day your library login stops working
Graduating is also losing institutional access to the literature, usually at the exact point you most need it. OpenBook searches five research databases and links the open-access full text where it exists.
Evidence for a placement or a case presentation
A graded, cited answer with the NHMRC level shown is what a supervisor asks for — and seeing the level, rather than being handed a conclusion, is how the reasoning stays yours.
Building the habit on a first caseload
New graduates carry the heaviest uncertainty and the least time. A question answered in seconds, with the citation attached, is a habit that survives a full caseload.
What you get
Real, traceable citations
Every citation resolves to a record actually retrieved. One that does not is refused rather than tidied up, and anything with a DOI is screened against Crossref retraction notices.
NHMRC evidence grading
Level I–V applied to every result from its indexed publication type, so the strength of the evidence is visible rather than asserted.
OpenBook Review
Evidence checks while you write. It reads your report, note or treatment plan, flags the claims published evidence bears on, and cites the guideline. You decide.
Five research databases in parallel
Europe PMC (PubMed/MEDLINE), PubMed Central, OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar and CORE — queried at once, merged and re-ranked, with open-access full text linked where it exists.
CPD session logging
Log a search as CPD as you do it, with the citation attached, and export a certificate for your AHPRA cycle.
PII auto-detection
The search box flags names, dates of birth and similar details as you type and offers to remove them before anything is sent.
Free while you are enrolled.
