In countries such as the UK and France, over 50% of all published research papers involve an international co-author, according to a Times Higher Education <a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2017/10/26/data-show-global-nature-academic-collaboration">report</a>. And while the rate is lower in the US, Canada is closer to its European peers in this regard at 48% of all papers published.</p> Wed, 21 Dec 2022 22:42:07 +0000 amanda.testani@mcgill.ca 718 at /research /research/channels/news/many-health-care-providers-are-ill-equipped-recognize-pain-abused-children-357693 <p>Many health-care professionals are ill-equipped to assess pain in children who have suffered abuse, a new study by ����ֱ�� researchers suggests.

This tendency is perhaps best symbolized by the ubiquitous smartphone. What seemed like just some cool technology a few years ago has quickly become an absolutely essential tool for everyday living. Worldwide, almost 4 billion people have at least one such device. In Canada, the rate of smartphone ownership is 88%, as of 2018.</p> Wed, 11 Oct 2023 15:33:06 +0000 megan.liley@mcgill.ca 1273 at /research /research/article/breaking-down-silos-app-puts-data-hands-patients <p>In case you missed the memo, modern life is awash in data. Indeed, if you were to print the amount generated each day (estimated to be 2.5 exabytes) in book form and stack them up, you could reach the moon – twice! Information overload – predicted as long ago as 1755 by <a href="https://www.historyofinformation.com/detail.php?id=2481">Denis Diderot</a> – is more than a phrase, it’s a societal condition.</p> Fri, 06 Jan 2023 04:22:48 +0000 Junji Nishihata 776 at /research
