Agenda • PubMed - The first choice articledatabase in medicine • Content - quality and quantity • Indexingwith and findingMeSH terms • Search • CustomizePubMed • Save and workwith the result
PubMedHistory • Index Medicus, printed index 1879- • MEDLINE is the primary content and the premier database to journal articles, launched 1960s’ • Publishers Medline – databaseofbibliographic information, produced by National Libraryof Medicine, USA , introduced 1996 – • Inclusionofolder stuff, nowcovering 1946 - • PubMed Central, PMC - a free archive for full-text biomedical and life sciences journal articles, launched 2000 -
PubMed and MEDLINE • Medline: • ”…citations from more than 5,600 scholarly journals…considers the quality of the scientific content of a journal…theadded value of using the NLM controlled vocabulary, Medical Subject Headings (MeSH)…” • PubMed: • “…include the MEDLINE database…In-process citations…citations to articles that are out-of-scope… pre-1966 citations…some additional life sciences journals that submit full text to PMC…booksavailable on the NCBI Bookshelf…” • Difference between MEDLINE, PubMed & PMC • https://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/difference.html
Different status for citations in PubMed • [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] • – search: publisher[sb], link • [PubMed - in process] • – search: inprocess[sb], link • [Indexed for MEDLINE] • – search: medline[sb], link • [PubMed] • – search: pubmednotmedline[sb], link • PubMed citation status • https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK3827/table/pubmedhelp.T.status_subsets/?report=objectonly
Content… • Journal selection process in Medline • https://www.nlm.nih.gov/lstrc/jsel.html • How to include a journal in PMC • https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/pub/addjournal/ • Is a journal in Medline, in PMC - or in both?
PubMed and Predatory journals? • There is a debate on this that you should be aware of • One recent article and a response from NLM: • How predatory journals leak into PubMed • Andrea Manca, David Moher, Lucia Cugusi, ZeeviDvir, Franca Deriu • CMAJ Sep 2018, 190 (35) E1042-E1045; DOI:10.1503/cmaj.180154 • Response from NLM • Predatory journals will be discussed more later in the course.
In conclusion… “In conclusion, PubMed citations come from MEDLINE indexed journals, journals/manuscripts deposited in PMC, and NCBI Bookshelf. […] If you limit your PubMed search to MeSH controlled vocabulary or the MEDLINE subset, you will see only MEDLINE citations in your results.” https://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/difference.html
Part 2 Creating structuredsearchstrategies(with a focus on PubMed)
Whoareyou? • “One of the advantages of being disorganized is that one is always having surprising discoveries.” • “It's best to know what you are looking for before you look for it.” Winnie the Pooh (A.A.Milne)
Defineyoursearchquestion • How do patients withmultiplesclerosisexperiencegroupexercise? • Howcanmesenchymalstem cells differentiatein vitro to insulin producing cells for the treatmentofdiabetes?
Searching with blocks # 1: ms OR multiplesclerosis # 2: group AND (exercise OR training) # 3: experience OR experiences OR attitude OR attitudes OR satisfaction OR view # 4: #1 AND #2 AND #3
To limit: stem cell AND transplantation To expand: treatmentORtherapy To exclude: type 1 diabetes NOT type 2 diabetes Caution! Boolean operators
Excluding animal studies What is the problem with: Diabetes NOT animals This is OK: Diabetes NOT (animals NOT humans)
Structured searches? Systematic searches? • Exhaustive and rigorous! • Narrow focus • All must be found • Sensitive (vs precise) • Objective and reproducible • Documentation, oftennessecary to update • Journal articles, butalsogreyliterature
SearchPubMed Free text searching MeSHsearching (Thesaurus/Subject term/Controlledvocabulary) Combining the Free text- and MeSH-search Documentingyoursearch Keepupdated
Test search and develop a searchstrategy • Free text terms (spellings, acronyms, synonyms) example: ageing/aging • Subjectheadings (PubMed MESH, Psycinfothesaurus) • Keyarticles
MeSH • MeSH - thesaurus/controlledvocabulary for subjectanalysis, annuallyupdated, approx. 27 000 concepts • Arranged in a hierarchical categorized manner/tree structure – arm › hand › finger • (Youcanturnthissearch option off) • ”subheadings” for a morespecificsearch • ”Major Topics” for focusing on the mostimportantMeSH-terms • MeSH database • Svensk MeSH – translation to/from Swedish • Previous indexing
