How to use PubMed for my research?
Answer
PubMed is a free resource that provides access to MEDLINE, the National Library of Medicine (NLM) database citations and abstracts in the fields of medicine, nursing, dentistry, veterinary medicine, health care systems, and preclinical sciences.
To search PubMed, just simply type a phrase into the search box. Keep in mind:
