been updated in this way.

What is The Malaria in Pregnancy Library?

The MiP Library is an up-to-date, comprehensive bibliographic database storing published andunpublished literature relating to malaria in pregnancy, including a trial registry of planned and

ongoing trials, for use by scientists, funding agencies, industry and other interested parties. The

Library is coordinated by the Malaria in Pregnancy Consortiums Secretariat at theLiverpoolSchool of Tropical Medicine(LSTM) in the UK, and was developed with contributions from

many malaria in pregnancy experts around the globe and with technical support from the

Effective Health Care Research Programme Consortiumat LSTM.

What does The Malaria in Pregnancy Library contain?

The MiP Library is updated quarterly and currently contains approximately 5168 references

dating from 1899 to the present day covering the following areas.

Disease burden

Pathogenesis & immunity

Pharmacovigilance, safety & pharmacokinetics

Case management

Prevention

Policy & implementation

Economics

In particular, it contains references to:

Books, book chapters, conference proceedings, electronic citations, journal articles,reports, theses and dissertations, policy documents, unpublished articles and reports of

ongoing trials and other research.

Approximately 85% of the citations are from journals

What is the source of these records?

About two-thirds (66%) of the records originate from MEDLINE/PubMed. Other published

material has been located throughEMBASE,BIOSIS, CINAHL, The Cochrane Library, ScienceCitation Index, Social Science Citation Index,LILACS,ELDIS, SIGLE, Scopus, theNLM

Catalog, POPLINE, CSA Conference Papers Index, ASSIA and BHI. Unpublished literature hasbeen sourced throughProQuest Dissertations and Theses,Index to Theses and the FDA. Clinical

Trials have been identified through Current Controlled Trials, US NIH Clinical Trials, UK NHS

National Research RegisterandRePorter. Further references have been obtained throughWorldCatand through Google searches. Leading scientists working in the MiP field were also

contacted for information regarding ongoing clinical trials or PhD projects. Information on

policy has been obtained through searching WHO websites and through Google searches.

What information is available about each reference?

Each record contains information relating to the correct bibliographic citation for that article

type, including the authors, the title of the article, and the name of the publication in which it can

be located. Most records contain keywords, although these are not always consistent with theU.S. National Library of Medicine's MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) thesaurus, therefore the

MiP Library does not yet offer MeSH searching.

For ongoing trials, trial specific data are provided. These include the name(s) of the principleinvestigator(s); the primary funding agent; start and end dates; location; interventions; outcomes;

study type.

Some references include links to full-text online. Access to online documents is not necessarily

free and will depend upon the access rights of the user of the MiP Library. Visitors to the MiP

Library from developing countries may be entitled to free or reduced-cost access to onlinearticles through HINARI, PERii, and BIREME.

Improving the MiP Library

The MiP Library is a work-in-progress. In addition to the quarterly updates, the followingenhancements to the MiP Library are in-process:

The update and maintenance of keywords to conform to MeSH headings

Ten major projects direct research in four key areas of malaria in pregnancy: prevention,

treatment, burden assessment and how best to scale up existing strategies and interventions.

Expert institutions from all over the world are involved in this research and share information toprovide the evidence needed to improve the control of malaria in pregnancy. The MiP

Consortium is supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the European Union.

The activities of the Consortium are managed by a secretariat based at the Liverpool School of

Tropical Medicine (LSTM) in the UK. For more information about the MiP Consortium, please
