PubMed: Basics of Searching

In this lecture, we'll focus on the most common search techniques and demonstrate how to use them in PubMed. Specifically, we'll discuss using the Boolean operators AND and OR to combine search terms, nesting to group similar terms, truncation to search for words with multiple endings, and quotes to search for phrases.

I highly recommend investing in a good microphone and recording in an environment that allows for good sound insulation. To be fair, it seems that all the top YT search results have poor audio quality

[@hooshmandzarei5729]

Very efficient

[@user-km3vo9zj9h]

thanks sir

[@anasuyabiswas6554]

Thankyou

[@wanderlust1334]

what is a syntax?

[@Commando303X]

Does "OR" function as "AND/OR"?
For example,
"Black OR red": would this allow results in which both "black" and "red" are present?
Thank you.

[@safiraalyad3483]

With "Black OR Red", you'll get articles that contain (1) Black only (2) Red only as well as (3) Red and Black. Whereas if you use "Black AND Red", you'll only get number (3) Red and Black, but not (1) Black only, nor (2) Red only. I hope that helps.

good

[@user-zt2it9lq7f]

says nothing about if pubmed is peer-reviewed or not. Is all Pubmed articles peer-reviewed?? How do you know if its peer-reviewed????
