This thread has been created for those subscribed to our Monthly Research Review e-mail list. Each month we will send out a list of recommended articles to read related to the topics of pain and rehab. We also have a recommended reading list for clinicians that can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2l2p5za34i…tice.docx?dl=0 (this list is regularly updated).
If you are not currently subscribed to the email list, please email mike@barbellmedicine.com with the subject line “Monthly Research Review”.
Just a few ground rules:
Please be sure to read the article(s) before creating a thread or commenting.
Don’t be a dick.
That’s honestly about it.
Also - if you’ve not heard of sci-hub, check it out for articles that aren’t open access.
Looking forward to discussing the articles with everyone!
Sorry if this question has already been answered, but is there a way to get access to the full text of the articles posted in the forum? I noticed most of the articles posted are from the British Journal of Sports Medicine and they require you to pay for the full text or get a yearly subscription. I didn’t know if there was a free way of getting access to these texts to join in on the discussions.
Thanks, Mike. I haven’t been reading studies for several years, and didn’t know about sci-hub. That’s an interesting Robin Hood story behind all of that.
Next, I searched for an article from your list (“… Not-So-Incidental Harms…”). The scan of the resulting page says they get a 403 Forbidden error.
I then scanned the url for the embedded pdf of the article. That also gives a 403.
Should that be alarming? Probably not, since the scan is probably telling sci-hub that it’s a robot (in its user-agent string). Doing a websearch to see if sci-hub is safe turned up zero reports of malware, as you likely already would know.
Then I ran my AV on the downloaded pdf, that shows no malware. I think it was worthwhile checking, and all seems well.
