PubMed ImprovementsPubMed has recently added several improvements to facilitate MEDLINE database searching. AbstractPlus is an enhanced abstract view that displays
Related Articles are a precalculated set of PubMed citations that closely match the subject headings and words in the title and abstract of the original article. The related articles are displayed in ranked order from most to least relevant. The Related Articles function is useful for quickly locating additional citations relevant to your topic. After finding one good article, this function can augment your search by leading you to similar articles. AbstractPlus is now the default view for PubMed results. Note that you must scroll to the bottom of the page to see the direct link to HSLS electronic journals. A second recent improvement in PubMed allows searching by grant and contract numbers that designate funding by any agency of the U.S. Public Health Service (including the National Institutes of Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Food and Drug Administration, among other agencies) or Wellcome Trust. Journal articles that include the grant or contract number are now searchable back to 1981. For detailed information about how to search by grant and contract numbers see <www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/techbull/mj06/mj06_grant_numbers.html> or PubMed Help, available from the left column of the PubMed home page. |
