The Consensus product today searches across 200+ million academic papers, preprints, and conference proceedings. Our corpus spans every scientific discipline and journal imaginable.
This comprehensive scope makes Consensus an incredible tool for academics, professionals, and clinicians conducting literature reviews, finding references, or exploring complex scientific questions.
But comprehensiveness can sometimes come at a cost. When you need precision, especially in medicine, too much breadth can blur the signal. Clinicians often need insights drawn only from top medical journals and clinical guidelines — the gold standard of evidence.
That’s why we’re introducing Medical Mode in Consensus.
What Is Medical Mode?
Medical Mode focuses your Consensus experience to only exclusively trusted medical literature, about 8 million papers and guidelines drawn from:
- ~50,000 clinical guidelines, and
- The top 1,000 medical journals worldwide.
These journals were selected by aggregating metrics from leading ranking systems, including Impact Factor, SciMago SJR Score, and SciScore’s Rigor and Transparency Index.
Medical mode includes top journals such as: New England Journal of Medicine, Cochrane Systematic Reviews, JAMA, BJM, Circulation, Blood, Annals of Internal Medicine, Nature Medicine and more. (For the full list, please reach out to our team at info@consensus.app.)
This focused dataset ensures that every result in Medical Mode meets the highest bar for clinical reliability.
Why It Matters
Medical Mode is built for clinicians who need trusted, up-to-date information to inform patient care, whether during a clinic visit or in between appointments. It’s ideal for questions like:
- SGLT2 inhibitors versus GLP-1 agonists for diabetic nephropathy
- Treatment protocol for acute coronary syndrome
- What are the contraindications for tPA in acute ischemic stroke?
By narrowing the search to the most credible medical sources, Medical Mode helps you move faster from question to evidence, without wading through less-relevant material.
