Very interesting slide with lots of information, Dr. Cuello. Looks busy.
You may want to pare down information, move some to other slides,
simplify it, and remove the animation.
It was interesting to note that you have differentiated between sources
like e-Medicine, web version of Harrison's and more formal paper based
textbooks. I never find them to be different in either principle or
information presentation, least of all substantively. I'd probably club
them together. The darker color of the two text boxes was also
interesting. Did you imply information density with color gradients?
Also, do you indicate that in electronic/non electronic textbooks alike,
information may be drawn from primary studies, some filtered, others
not? [the significance of two direct arrows from primary studies,
bypassing the "secondary sources" box to the two gray boxes was not
clear to me]
Finally, it seemed to me that the thickness of your arrows (from opinion
and experience to the boxes) implied relative contributory weights. If
this is what you indeed implied, I beg to differ. I think content-wise,
electronic textbooks like eMedicine tend to be more opinionated than
traditional textbooks, since they have opportunities for accommodating
diverse, often unedited feedbacks from readers and users of these
information being posted on the Internet, as it is.
