PubMed Features to Save Your Time

 


Knapp M. PubMed features to save your time. J Hosp Librarianship. 2024;24(1):1-9. doi: 10.1080/15323269.2023.2291284. Epub 2023 Dec 7. PMID: 38645880; PMCID: PMC11029388.




A brand new article was recently published in The Journal of Hospital Librarianship by the NNLM's Molly Knapp, highlighting some of the time-saving features of PubMed including the following:

  • Computed Author Sort (aka authorbot)
  • PMID search
  • Phrase Index Searching
  • Phrase searching using proximity search
  • Case Studies:
  • Show me everything in PubMed with the ultimate cheat code: all[sb]
  • Show me ALL the systematic reviews in PubMed
  • Why does PubMed ignore my search terms?

Even if all of these features are old hat for WHSLA Members, it's always good to review what's available as far as time-saving features in PubMed. Maybe you'll pick up some new tips and tricks!
