New Limits Display in PubMed

Have you searched PubMed lately? You probably have noticed that the link to the limits page is no longer available. The limits page has been replaced by a results filter sidebar on the left of the main page. The filter sidebar options will work the same way as the limit selections; once a filter is set, it will remain activated for subsequent searches until you clear it.

When you perform a search in PubMed, the following default filters are now displayed:

• Text availability
• Publication
• Species
• Article types
• Languages

To limit your search to any of these filters, click on the links below them; note that additional options are available in some categories when you click “more.”

To change or delete your limit choices, click the “clear all” link; to add limits not already listed on the sidebar, click on the last entry, Choose additional filters, and more limits will be displayed. The limits already set for your search are shown with boxes check-marked.

Do you need to limit a search to nursing journals, age group or a particular search field, but find those options are not displayed?  Click Choose additional filters, select a category and click on Apply. A list of additional limits will display in the sidebar.

Improvements to PubMed - Adding Favorite Citations to MyNCBI Collections

Have you searched PubMed lately? Have you noticed that PubMed added some enhancements to the database?

The PubMed Abstracts now includes a "Save Items" portlet that provides users with an easy way to add items to MyNCBI Collections when you click on the "Favorite" button.  The "Save Items" portlet also includes a drop-down menu that allows you to display a list of all collections in your account when you are signed into MyNCBI. You can add "Favorite" citations to an existing collection or create a new one; if you don't choose a particular collection a Favorites collection will be created by the system.
