Editor's Notes
- Results not properly focused; look at search details
- Results not properly focused; look at search details
- Rethink your search to come up with more & better search terms
- Words in black are new & are MeSH
- After determining your set of search terms, the next step for building your search is to establish how you want to combine your terms in order to get the most relevant results.Boolean operators, which are AND & OR, allow you to combine terms in different ways.In the example on the left, I’m using OR to combine two related terms. This is helpful when you’re are searching for a concept and you want to combine all keywords related to that concept. Here I’m searching for all articles about bad breath OR all articles about halitosis. This will give me a large result set.The example on the right shows what happens when you combine search terms using the Boolean operator AND. Using AND is used to combine different concepts. This search will return only the results that cover bad breath and toothbrushing. This will be a smaller result set than either of the individual search terms. A search for depression may return 10,000 results and a search for heart attack could return 20,000 results, but out of those possible 30,000 articles, you may only find that 5,000 of the results discuss both topics within the same article.
- Starting to get more focused, on-target results
- Filters help focus search results appropriately
- Can also click on any author name to get list of everything that the person has written that’s indexed in PubMed.
- Easily look of an article when you have the information; check “bad” or incomplete citations, or look up everything that an author has written & is indexed in PubMed.
- Dropdown lists for journal & author names: when possible, choose from list. You can enter as much or as little information as you want. To find an incorrect citation, put in only the info that you think is correct: for ex, author name, journal, some words in article title.
