8. Sep 20077 Development of Search Strategies Formulate the question Break the question down to various concepts Find the right MeSH/thesaurus for each concept Combine various concepts using Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) Apply limit options (language, subset, age, publication type, major heading, subheading) Run the search Modify search strategies and rerun the search

9. Sep 20078 Why Use Index Terms (MeSH)? MeSH headings are an efficient way to find information on “concepts” or topics where authors use different language to discuss the same ideas. Using MeSH improves precision and accuracy of subject searching. Searching for words in the keyword indexes may not retrieve relevant articles. Example: physical therapy “Storytelling as therapy: implications for medicine.” Abstract: Storytelling is an art developed during the beginning of human history, probably to teach the wisdom of generations past, including basic mental and physical health principles…

11. Sep 200710 Locating MeSH - 2 Search the MeSH database Scope Note Subheadings Major Topics Explode

12. Sep 200711 Boolean Operators OR(use to join synonyms) Vitamin C OR Ascorbic Acid doctors OR physicians tumor OR tumour injuries OR accidents AND (use to combine concepts) Vitamin C AND cancer doctors AND managed care color AND vision injuries AND automobiles

14. Sep 200713 Boolean OR

15. Sep 200714 Tips on PubMed Searching Search field tags are available [ti] Forced phrase searching in quotes “” Explode is automatic Use truncation (*) to broaden your search (e.g. child* => child, children, childbearing) Boolean operators processed left to right To find in-process citations: Use keyword search and limit your search to last one year. Keyword search: looking for terms in the title, MeSH and an abstract.

16. Sep 200715 PubMed My NCBI Save search strategies Provide automatic email updates Set up filters for specific research papers, e.g. systematic reviews, meta- analysis Highlight PubMed search words in your retrieval

17. Sep 200716 My NCBI – registration & set-up Free registration Setting up filters for RCT and meta analysis Select ‘Filters’ in the far left menu, and then select PubMed. Select ‘Search’ and look up ‘randomized controlled trial’. Select Randomized Controlled Trial under the matching filters list and then check the ‘Add’ box to automatically add RCT as one of your filters. Go back to ‘Search’ and repeat this with ‘meta analysis’. User preferences
