NSQHS - Standard 8: Recognising and Responding to Acute Deterioration

The Recognising and Responding to Acute Deterioration Standard aims to ensure that a person's acute deterioration is recognised promptly and appropriate action is taken. Acute deterioration includes physiological changes, as well as acute changes in cognition and mental state.

Finding Grey Literature

Grey literature is information that has not been published commercially and is therefore not necessarily searchable via the standard databases. Much grey literature is of high quality and can be an excellent source of up to date research in certain subject areas. It can appear in many forms, including government reports, statistics, patents, theses, conference papers and clinical trails. 

The Library has guides on how to search for and evaluate this type of literature and also highlights Australian and Victorian specific statistics relating to health.

From the Editor's Perspective Webinar 

Research suggests that 62% of published papers are rejected at least once.  This is usually because the research has not been articulated into a well-written paper. It is important to understand what Editors look for while scanning through manuscripts to ensure your submission meets the standards and requirements of your target journal. In this session, we will discuss key elements Editors look at and look for in a manuscript.

Monday 13th June, 5pm AEST

Hosted by Elsevier, join Dr Ximena Alvira, MD, PhD as she discusses the key elements editors look for in a manuscript and what authors can do to increase the chances of their work being recognised.

You'll learn:
•    Common pitfalls to effective publishing
•    How to improve research outcomes
•    How to standardise research practice
