A comparison of manual and MEDLARS reviews of the literature on consultation-liaison psychiatry

J C Bareta et al. Am J Psychiatry. 1990 Aug.

Abstract

A systematic manual search for articles related to consultation-liaison psychiatry was compared to a computerized search of the same journals during the same period that was done with the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System (MEDLARS). More articles were located with the manual method (94%) than with MEDLARS (65%).
