Full Author Searching Now Available in PubMed
The National Library of Medicine is now offering the capability to search full author names in PubMed. Full author searching is available for articles published from 2002 to the present. Unlike conventional author searches in PubMed, full author searching works in both natural and inverted order.
For more information check the NLM Technical Bulletin at:
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/techbull/mj05/mj05_full_author.html
Commercial
Search Engines Link to PubMed Citations
Yahoo®,
GoogleTM and MSN, are some of
the commercial search engines that may now provide links to PubMed while
searching. While looking at your results, check the URL for the following
address: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez. This
indicates the record comes from PubMed. When you link to a PubMed citation from
a search engine, the terms you have searched will be displayed in the PubMed
query box. A note will indicate that if you perform the same search in PubMed
the number of citations retrieved will be higher.
