Advanced PubMed

PubMed comprises tens of millions of citations for biomedical literature from MEDLINE, life science journals, and online books. Citations may include links to full-text content from PubMed Central and publisher web sites. This class introduces advanced PubMed features that allow for focused searches. Participants will learn how to personalize PubMed using My NCBI, use internal PubMed vocabulary lists (MeSH) to create more efficient search strategies, truncation use, and searching with Boolean operators. Additionally, skills in applying search filters, creating subject alerts, and exporting search results to bibliographic management software such as EndNote will be discussed.
