How to search PubMed
First, go he http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=pubmed Note the tabs Limits and Clipboard: these are links to special interface panes. Use the Limits pane to limit a search to, eg, studies involving women, or newborns, as appropriate. Also use it to refine the search query to author, title word, etc. Once you have some search results, click the box next to the items you like to select them and then use the "Send to" pull-down menu to send your selections to the clipboard. Accumulate all relevant search results there. The clipboard does not accumulate duplicate items. Use the Clipboard pane to list, select the display type, and do something with your selections. I like the Abstract Plus display for reading but for downloading for future use I like the MEDLINE display. So that your search results will include more papers in languages other than English, or that use variant terms, examine the MeSH terms applied to the most relevant search results that you already have (select a display type that shows the MeSH terms), or search the MeSH database itself (link on the left sidebar) to find the precise MeSH term for your topic. Then search for those terms. PubMed is not as comprehensive nor as powerful as Science Citation Index, but it is very good and it is public. And for purposes relevant here, PubMed probably is as good as comprehensive. Pologirl |
