Do copy/paste the entire article title not just a few words from the title. <em>(Title matching works best for titles that have at least 6 words.)</em><br /><br />

Don’t tag the search terms.<br /><br />

<p>The <a href="//www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/techbull/mj08/mj08_pubmed_atm_cite_sensor.html">Citation Sensor</a> was introduced to the PubMed search box in May 2008. At that <br /> time we described the sensor as being able to "recognize combinations of search<br /> terms that are characteristic of citation searching, e.g., volume/issue numbers,<br /> author names, journal titles, and publication dates, which it then matches to citations." We also want you to know that the Citation Sensor does a great job<br /> finding citations when the <strong>article title </strong>is copy/pasted into the search box. Here<br /> is an example:</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>When trying to find this citation in PubMed:</p>
|
||
|
||
<p><em>Zinc and diarrheal disease: current status and future perspectives.
|
||
Scrimgeour,<br /> Angus G. Lukaski, Henry C.
|
||
Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition & Metabolic Care.<br /> 11(6):711-7, 2008 Nov.</em></p>
|
||
|
||
<p>...the PubMed searcher tried this <strong>traditional</strong> approach employing search tags and Boolean operators:</p>
|
||
|
||
<div class="figure" style="width: 537px;">
|
||
<a name="fig1" id="fig1">
|
||
<img src="graphics/skill_kit_fig1a.gif" alt="Screen capture of PubMed searcher tried this approach employing search tags and Boolean operators." title="Screen capture of PubMed searcher tried this approach employing search tags and Boolean operators" width="535" height="32" /><br /> </a> </div>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>Unfortunately, this search retrieved thirty-two items and had to be modified with an author name to get the one item of interest:</p>
|
||
|
||
<div class="figure" style="width: 536px;">
|
||
<a name="fig2" id="fig2">
|
||
<img src="graphics/skill_kit_fig2a.gif" alt="Screen capture of search modified with an author name to get the one item of interest." title="Screen capture of search modified with an author name to get the one item of interest" width="534" height="32" /><br /> </a> </div>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>After two tries, the exact item was found.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>But when the article title is entered into the search box (copy/paste works great), the <strong>citation sensor</strong> matched the terms to the exact item the first time.</p>
|
||
|
||
<div class="figure" style="width: 536px;">
|
||
<a name="fig3" id="fig3">
