<h2 id="-step-by-step-mentor-mapping">✅ Step-by-step: “Mentor mapping”</h2>
<h3 id="-step-1-build-a-shortlist-of-target-doctors">✅ Step 1: Build a shortlist of target doctors</h3>
<p>Pick <strong>10–25 pioneer clinicians or program directors</strong> in your specialty niche.</p>
<p>Where to find names (choose 2–3 sources):</p>
<ul>
<li>📌 Program faculty pages (your target institutions)</li>
<li>📌 Recent conference speaker lists in your niche</li>
<li>📌 Last-author/senior-author names from guidelines/review articles</li>
<li>📌 “Where do trainees like me actually rotate/work?” (ask senior residents/fellows)</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="-step-2-search-the-research-rabbit-wth-the-author-name-and-use-the-map-views-to-reveal-the-doctor-network">✅ Step 2: Search the research rabbit wth the author name and use the map views to reveal <em>the doctor network</em></h3>
<p>Your goal is not “more papers.” Your goal is:</p>
<ul>
<li>📌 Who collaborates with whom?</li>
<li>📌 Which clinicians repeatedly appear in the same cluster?</li>
</ul>
<p>Use these views strategically:</p>
<ul>
<li>✅ <strong>Network view</strong>: identifies clusters and connected authors</li>
<li>✅ <strong>Timeline view</strong>: shows whether this group is currently active vs historically important</li>
</ul>
<p>after opening <a href="https://app.researchrabbit.ai/">https://app.researchrabbit.ai/</a></p>
<p><img alt="alt text" loading="lazy" src="/en/blog/the-physicians-research-gps-map-your-specialty-find-your-futur-mentor/image.png"></p>
<p>Search with title of article of the author you want to check its network
<img alt="alt text" loading="lazy" src="/en/blog/the-physicians-research-gps-map-your-specialty-find-your-futur-mentor/image-1.png">
say we want to map the connections of <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=list_works&amp;hl=en&amp;hl=en&amp;user=apPtA7MAAAAJ">Dr Carl J Lavie</a>
choose any artcile he authored
<img alt="alt text" loading="lazy" src="/en/blog/the-physicians-research-gps-map-your-specialty-find-your-futur-mentor/image-2.png"></p>
<p>Cick on his name

<h3 id="-step-3-identify-3-tiers-of-contact-targets-this-is-where-opportunity-usually-lives">✅ Step 3: Identify 3 tiers of “contact targets” (this is where opportunity usually lives)</h3>
<p>Think in tiers:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>📌 <strong>Tier A (Visible leaders):</strong> famous senior names</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>✅ <strong>Tier B (Active builders):</strong> mid-career clinician-scientists leading projects<br>
Often the best mentorship.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>✅ <strong>Tier C (Gateway collaborators):</strong> frequent co-authors, junior faculty, senior fellows, lab managers<br>
Often the fastest path to joining a project or getting rotation guidance.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="-step-4-reality-check-outside-researchrabbit-avoid-false-targets">✅ Step 4: Reality-check outside ResearchRabbit (avoid false targets)</h3>
<p>Before emailing anyone:</p>
<ul>
<li>📌 Confirm role + contact info on the institution site</li>
<li>📌 Confirm they actually mentor trainees (lab page, trainees listed, recent projects)</li>
</ul>

<p>RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a stream of updates from a source (journal, search, author, etc.). Subscribe once, and new items land in your reader—or your Telegram channel—without refreshing 20 tabs. It’s fast, lightweight, and works across most scholarly sites.</p>
<p><img alt="Pastedimage20250816184034.png" loading="lazy" src="/en/blog/never-miss-a-paper-again-pubmed/scopus-rss-telegram-in-10-minutes/Pastedimage20250816184034.png"></p>
<h2 id="what-youll-need">What you’ll need</h2>
<ul>
<li>
<p><strong>One place to receive updates:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>An <strong>RSS reader</strong> (e.g. Inoreader, Feedly, NewsBlur, NetNewsWire, Reeder).</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>OR</strong> a <strong>Telegram setup</strong> (Feed Reader Bot / RSS bot) to push updates to a <strong>channel</strong> (broadcast) or <strong>group</strong> (team discussion).</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Your sources:</strong> PubMed searches, Scopus searches or author/document pages.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="pubmed-turn-any-search-into-an-rss-feed">PubMed: turn any search into an RSS feed</h2>
<ol>
<li>
<p><strong>Run your PubMed search</strong> and apply filters (Trials only, Reviews, Most Recent, date ranges, article types, language, etc.).</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Click <strong>Create RSS</strong> right under the search box.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Name the feed, then <strong>Create RSS</strong>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Copy the <strong>RSS Feed Link</strong>.

<p>mostly I will do the same steps we did in PubMed and you will see the RSS feed sign in the page of search</p>

<h2 id="journals--sites-without-an-obvious-feed">Journals &amp; sites without an obvious feed</h2>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Many journals expose <strong>Latest/Early View/In Press</strong> feeds—look for the orange RSS icon or “RSS/XML” in the footer.
Here an example from <a href="https://jamanetwork.com/">JAMA Network</a>
