Keep in mind that you may still have to use additional MeSH or specific text word searches for your particular need. Combining with set 16 will produce citations to previous animal studies. It is unlikely that you would need all of the sets in the Expert Search for any given search topic, but you can combine statements as needed. If you would like to try the Expert Search, log in to the Gateway . The online version of Biological Abstracts, this database's strengths are coverage outside of clinical areas and inclusion of material other than journal articles such as books, abstracts, and proceedings.
Coverage is very broad in the agricultural and veterinary areas.
These databases provide coverage of the recent literature across many disciplines. There are no subject headings and searching is primarily limited to words occuring in titles and abstracts, so it is more difficult to search comprehensively. It should be considered particularly for behavioral research. This is a database of abstracts of all research projects currently funded by NIH and related US Public Health Service agencies. It is searchable by keyword and is a place to help determine whether there is a project already in progress on a given topic which might not yet have yielded publications in the literature.
