16. So where ever you search for your references
PubMed (MEDLINE)
Start your search here. MeSH is useful for nucleating search concepts.
Embase
Approximately 85% overlap with MEDLINE with more second tier European and Aisian journals. Has some meetings. EMTREE controlled
vocabulary can be adapted from MeSH terms.
Cochrane Library
(Includes the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials)
Cochrane Central contains MEDLINE trials plus many trials from other, non-indexed sources; limited to randomized and non-randomized
controlled trials. MeSH for MEDLINE records, but no other controlled vocabulary. Click through to Advanced Search and select Central.
Web of Science
(Science Citation Index)
Broad but not deep coverage of all sciences. Will cover some journals missed by PubMed and Embase. Some meeting information. No
controlled vocabulary.
ClinicalTrials.gov
Registers trials that are recruting and reports which have been completed. It also has results for many studies. Since a majority of the trials in
this registry are never published, you'll need to search here if you're looking or clinical trial data.
