Talk:Daniel J. Drucker

Article improvement
- the article is certainly better. Under Publications, you might find more recent notable reviews, such as using a citation tool, like [https://tools.wmflabs.org/citer/citer.fcgi? Citer] for a full citation, or to provide a link to an abstract or article using its PMID or PMC number, such as this: PMID 31767182 which, when Citer is applied, yields this. Here is a list of more recent review articles by Drucker - the ones shown in the article are individual (low impact) articles, rather than higher-impact reviews per WP:MEDRS. Fyi, another notable Toronto physician-scientist, David J. Jenkins, has only an article stub. --Zefr (talk) 21:22, 3 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Zefr, for taking the time to look at the article, and for pointing out the Citer tool, which looks useful. When I came across the article it was written basically as a tribute to Dr. Drucker, so I set out to tone it down and add independent references. The publications that are listed weren't picked by me; they were already in the article in the form of references. Since they weren't independent, I moved them to "Selected publications"; I deliberately removed the external links, since these aren't supposed to be in the body of the article.


 * I'm not sure I agree with your suggestion of switching these reports of individual studies for ones that summarize research in his field; if this was an article about diabetes treatments, those overviews would be perfect. However, it's a biography, so the selected publications (in my opinion) should be the ones he's known for, and according to Google Scholar these are his most highly cited papers.


 * If I am wrong and the list needs changing, I'll leave that to someone who has more education in the biological sciences; I am uncomfortable with choosing and adding publications that I don't understand.&mdash;Anne Delong (talk) 12:39, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
