* Specify the type(s) of articles retrieved (e.g., Clinical Trials, Case Studies, Reviews) * Specify age groups (e.g., 6-12 year olds, 19-44 year olds, 80 & over, and more) * Specify human or animal studies * Specify the language of the article * Limit resources to specific topics, like Bioethics
* Save a search for easy access later or to turn it into an email alert * Save a collection of citations that you have found * Customize PubMed with pre-set filters in order to easily limit your results
Google's special section for searching just the journal literature is called Google Scholar (http://scholar.google.com). The following are a few considerations and some tips for searching:
Use the Advanced Search page to specify journal names, dates or ranges of dates, and more.
Then enter the information you seek.
Keep in mind: The articles at the top of the results are NOT the most recent articles, but ones that are very popular and highly cited. Use the option to set a span of years - perhaps the last 2 years to get more recent articles.
Author searching is more precise when you connect the names and initials. For example: author:stimson-nf
Use intitle:word you want in title or allintitle:article title here to let Google Scholar know you want a word or several words to be in the title. (Note - there is a colon and no space between it and the word you want in the title.
