PubMed Tips

MEDLINE (Ovid)

A database interface that provides access to the MEDLINE database, which contains references to articles from life sciences and biomedical journals. Here’s a more detailed explanation:

Embase
Known for its extensive biomedical and pharmacological content, Embase provides access to a broader range of European and international journals than PubMed. It also includes more conference abstracts and detailed drug data.

Web of Science
Web of Science indexes a wide range of subjects, including biomedical research. It’s particularly valuable for tracking citations and impact metrics.

Google Scholar
While not specific to biomedical research, Google Scholar is a free, comprehensive tool for finding scholarly articles across various disciplines, including health and medicine.

Cochrane Library
Known for its systematic reviews, the Cochrane Library is a valuable resource for evidence-based medicine. It includes reviews, trials, and other critical evidence for clinical decision-making.

These alternatives might be useful depending on the specific needs of your research.
