Overview
Michelle Demetres is an Associate Librarian in the Library at Weill Cornell Medicine, with 122 publications spanning 2017 to 2026. Her work centers on evidence synthesis and the research infrastructure that supports it. In a 2023 assessment of Weill Cornell Medicine's systematic review service, she examined a decade of the service's capacity, workflows, and publishing output, documenting how its practices evolved over time. An earlier systematic review on institutional repositories (online archives where institutions host their scholarly output) found that these repositories increase citations and visibility for deposited research. Beyond library science, her collaborative publications span randomized controlled trial design, bias, and the fragility index, a measure of how robust a trial's results are. They also include comparisons of coronary artery bypass grafting and percutaneous coronary intervention, a global scoping review of gestational diabetes prevalence, and evaluations of surgical technique. She holds an M.L.I.S. from Queens College, City University of New York, and a B.A. from James Madison University.
