How to build a search using the NEW Pubmed Advanced Search Builder

This video will show you how to use the new Pubmed Advanced Search Builder. Pubmed changed the interface of their advanced search builder in 2020. In a previous video ( • How to build a search ... ), I showed you how you can build your search strategy using Pubmed. The Pubmed Advanced Search Builder really works well and I use this builder as a starting point to figure out my search strategy when doing a systematic or scoping review. Play around a bit to ensure that you know what you want to combine with what using your Boolean operators. Once you are happy with your Pubmed search strategy, you can apply the same principles in the other databases. Remember that each of the databases works differently so check out the help files for each of them to make sure that you are not missing an important step. For example, some databases use the asterisk * as a wildcard or truncation function, while others do not. Some databases make use of subject terms such as what Pubmed refers to as MeSH terms, while others do not.

great! thank you very much

[@amenahdhannoon1740]

Do you use the final search terms in other databases like scopus and EMBASE?

[@ResearchMasterminds]

You need to read their help files and build a search in each database from scratch. All these databases work differently. Let me know how it goes.

systematic reviews really take a lot of work. :(

I understand how you feel.
