PubMed: Building a Search

In this lecture you'll learn a systematic approach to find relevant articles on a given topic in PubMed. You'll learn how to use a combination of keywords and controlled vocabulary; incorporate Boolean operators, truncation, and field tags; and run your search in PubMed. While this lecture demonstrates how to search PubMed, strategies presented are applicable for other biomedical databases such as Embase, APA PsycInfo, and CINAHL.

This is SO exceptionally helpful and I don't know why it's not mentioned in curriculum (least at my school). I remember when I had to conduct a meta-analysis, I was doing searches so blindly. If I had seen this video, I'd have had an easier time.

The single best explanation of a full day of searching through various videos

[@mahadeviapmuthurethinabara5381]

This is a fantastic 'What to do First' video for starting our search. Very systematic, easy to follow, and very very applicable. All should use when doing systematic review. I am definitely sharing this video with my post grad students and juniours! 👍👍👍

[@user-ts2vm2oe9r]

This is the best video I've ever watched on the subject. Highly recommended.

Wow! This was/is SO helpful!!!! I had no idea where to start with creating a proper search term for PubMed for my research and this has answered many of my questions. This was extremely thorough and I appreciate the "mistakes" you made to explain why you do things a certain way (building blocks method, spelling errors, etc). Thank you for making this video. With the recent updates to PubMed I struggled finding relevant/recent tutorial videos. You're like the Osmosis, Najeeb, Boards & Beyond of research lol.

[@Wanjara]

As well, thank you. I have discovered Boards and Beyond ;-)

Thank you so much , this video helped me alot

[@lele-hp4wf]

Thanks a lot for this video, it was really good But although I'm trying to use this technique I'm struggling. My question might be very specific, but how for example you would search for the specific question: Synthesis of antibodies /isohemagglutinins in the abo bloodgroup system. I've tried it with the MeSh terms, but still don't find anything appropriate. I know they are induced through intestinal bacteria, but I need to find studies concerning this topic.

Thanks for the great explanation but how did you identify the keywords, please? any recommendations?

[@Cliche8701]

Amazing, thank you! Though I didn't understand the [tw] part, what was that for?

[@donavankipkorir282]

Educational

[@Claerdelune]

that was beautiful

[@elanemedzium7024]

hi thank you for the video! just want to ask, does it make difference if we don't add the [tw] or [tiab] ? [tw] or [tiab] is better?

[@jenanavati]

Test out your results using each. [tw] includes author keywords whereas [tiab] is just title and author. A lot of times I find [tiab] to be enough, but [tw] will cast a wider net.

[@mojoe599]

@@jenanavati Thanks for the explanation!

[@deliaklager766]

Does anyone know, where the previous lecture is? This was so helpful, i want to watch all of it =D

[@elizabethbatten8514]

Click on the channel name (Welch Medical Library) and you will see a list of their videos. Scroll down about halfway for the PubMed series.
