This is the second paper in the evidence-based medicine glossary series. It provides information on the principles for evidence-based medicine through definitions, criteria for inclusion and screening, regular flow-sheet, reporting format and the establishment of databases.
This is the third paper in the evidence-based medicine glossary series. We count terms and phrases having the words"evidence-based" in the title using bibliometrics. We then analyze the frequency of emergence, publication period, languages, and journal of the glossaries published. Finally, we focus on the link between the title and the glossary, and explore the development of trends in EBM.
This is the fourth paper in the evidence-based medicine glossary series. Bibliometric method was used to analyse the development of evidence-based medicine in medicine and non-medicine system.

This is the fifth paper in the evidence-based medicine glossary series. In this paper, we mainly introduce the systematic error（bias）and random error in medical research, review the definition and classification of bias made by different institutions and individuals. We also identify and categorize more than 10 types of bias in systematic review, which are considered the best evidence in evidence-based medicine. Additionally, we introduce some methods to reduce and eliminate bias, explaine six subject headings related to bias in MeSH, and introduce a new glossary — uncertainty in metrology.
This is the sixth paper in the evidence-based medicine glossary series. In this paper, We mainly introduced the concept of research synthesis, systematic review and meta-analysis and review developing process of these glossary.
