Limited to Members Only

By default, all articles on GreenMedInfo.com are sorted based on the content type which best reflects the data which most users are searching for. For instance, people viewing substances are generally most interested in viewing diseases that these substances have shown to have positive influences. This section is for allowing more advanced sorting methods. Currently, these advanced sorting methods are available for members only. If you are already a member, you can sign in by clicking here [2]. If you do not currently have a user account, and would like to create one/become a member, click here [6] to begin the singup process.

Currently Available Sorting Options

  • Article Published Date - Sort all displayed articles by their published date
  • Quick Summary Fieldsets - Sort alphabetically, rather than by Cumulative Knowledge
  • Cumulative Knowledge - Default sorting method. Allows you to sort descendingly
What is Cumulative Knowledge?
Cumulative Knowledge is determined by ascribing a numerical value to the various study types weighted in descending order as follows: (1) Meta-Analysis; (2) Human Study; (3) Human: Case Study; (4) Animal: Transgenic; (5) Animal; (6) In Vitro; (7) Review; and (8) Commentary.
