==Welcome to the LIMSwiki [[informatics]] resource portal==
This collection of web links represents an attempt to collate as many useful online scientific and [[health informatics|health]] informatics-related materials and research tools as possible. As entities often change the URLs of their material or delete it in total, it's quite likely you may discover a bad URL or two. We'll try to keep this updated as often as possible, but please do help if you are able.
An attempt was made to be as thorough as possible in most categories, though we realize some entities — especially non-English websites — may have escaped our search efforts. The books category is somewhat of a special case, as we tried to focus on relevant books published within the last 10 to 12 years, primarily those with positive feedback on Amazon and other online retailers. However, search tools for finding other informatics books have been included to allow you to research and decide for yourself if a particular book is worth looking into.

Revision as of 16:05, 14 July 2021

Welcome to the LIMSwiki informatics resource portal

This collection of web links represents an attempt to collate as many useful online scientific and health informatics-related materials and research tools as possible. As entities often change the URLs of their material or delete it in total, it's quite likely you may discover a bad URL or two. We'll try to keep this updated as often as possible, but please do help if you are able.

An attempt was made to be as thorough as possible in most categories, though we realize some entities — especially non-English websites — may have escaped our search efforts. The books category is somewhat of a special case, as we tried to focus on relevant books published within the last 10 to 12 years, primarily those with positive feedback on Amazon and other online retailers. However, search tools for finding other informatics books have been included to allow you to research and decide for yourself if a particular book is worth looking into.
