The Transplant Library

The Transplant Library was developed by the CET with the aim to provide high quality, evidence-based information on all of aspects of solid organ transplantation for the transplantation community. It serves as an easily searched resource for clinicians, researchers and other related health professionals as searching the Transplant Library does not require any expert search skills.

Originally, the transplant library was designed with a focus on high-level evidence - randomised controlled trials (RCTs), systematic reviews (SRs) and clinical practice guidelines. Working in partnership with Evidentia publishing and using modern AI technologies, we have been able to expand this offering to include all studies published in the field of solid organ transplantation. Powerful search filters still allow users to focus on high-level evidence if they wish.

Features of the Library include:

  • All of the literature on solid organ transplantation in one place
  • Easy-to-use search interface with powerful filters for study type and quality
  • Filter the most recently added studies to keep up to date in your field
  • Transplant-specific filters, including organ and donor types
  • Direct free access to Open Access articles, links to other full-text sources
  • Expert commentary on 10 selected high-impact articles each month, with free email alerts
  • The Transplant Library is updated every week with new articles, keeping users abreast of newly reported evidence

The Transplant Library is available on the Evidentia Publishing platform. This platform allows rapid and comprehensive searches on focused topics without any professional search skills.
