  • 1964 MEDLINE - a database of citations to biomedical journal articles. 5 Revised 2013/03 PubMed for Trainers
  • Slide 6
  • Highlights of MEDLINE MEDLINE is a database of citations to published biomedical journal articles. Over 5,600 journals are currently indexed for MEDLINE. Journals must be approved by a review committee. NLM indexers use Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) to index over 50,000 articles each month. MEDLINE has over 20 million citations going back to the mid 1940s. Most of the citations are for English-language articles and include abstracts. Revised 2013/03 PubMed for Trainers 6
  • Slide 7
  • Who decides what journals are in MEDLINE? The Literature Selection Technical Review Committee Made up of medical experts and librarians. Meets 3 times per year. Considers approximately 180 titles each meeting. Selects roughly 20-25% of reviewed titles. Revised 2013/03 PubMed for Trainers 7
  • Slide 8
  • What criteria are used to select MEDLINE journals? Critical elements for inclusion: Scope and coverage Quality of content Quality of editorial work Production quality Audience Types of content See Fact Sheet for selection criteria. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/factsheets/jsel.html Revised 2013/03 PubMed for Trainers 8

  • Summary The MEDLINE database of biomedical journal citations is the heart of PubMed. MEDLINE includes only good quality journals deemed important and relevant by a committee of experts. MEDLINE is available for free using PubMed, but it is also available from other database searching systems. MEDLINE is enhanced with Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), which improve access to the literature and can be used for searching. Revised 2013/03 PubMed for Trainers 39
  • Slide 40
  • Summary (continued) Search PubMed by entering the main concepts of your search without punctuation. Your terms will automatically map to MeSH. Enter components of references (author, title, journal) to find a known article or set of articles. The full text article may be linked from the PubMed record using an icon in the upper right of the abstract display. Explore related citations and related information from the right column of your search results and the abstract display.

Recognize and identify how NLM indexers assign terms to MEDLINE records, with a focus on disease and treatment terms. 3. Apply indexing rules to improve your search technique. 4. Create searches by free-floating subheadings. 5. Enhance your search by using subject populations terms. 6. Locate, and when appropriate, search using the AIDS and Cancer subject subsets.

  • Slide 187
  • Indexing: Specificity Revised 2012/12 PubMed for Trainers 187 Indexers use the hierarchy to find the most specific MeSH heading. Example: Chronic hepatitis B Hepatitis B, Chronic (not Liver diseases or Hepatitis or Hepatitis B) Search tip: Use the most specific term appropriate for searching.
  • Slide 188
  • Indexing: Depth of Indexing Revised 2012/12 PubMed for Trainers 188 For most research articles, every concept substantively discussed should be covered by at least one MeSH heading Negative results (i.e. supporting the null hypothesis) are indexed if discussed For articles discussing many subjects, general headings (but as specific as possible) may be used to group related concepts rather than indexing them individually
  • Slide 189
  • Indexing: Rule of Three Revised 2012/12 PubMed for Trainers 189 If more than 3 related concepts are discussed in an article, the more general MeSH heading under which they are all treed is usually indexed. The specific headings may be indexed, but not as major topics. Example: Article discusses infections by Helicobacter pylori, Clostridium difficile, peptostreptococci, and vancomycin-resistant enterococci indexed with BACTERIAL INFECTIONS
  • Slide 190
  • Required (if applicable) Headings Revised 2012/12 PubMed for Trainers 190 Some headings are considered for every article (check tags) Include: Species (including Humans) Sex Age groups (for humans) Also historical time periods and pregnancy Usually are indexed even if merely mentioned, unlike other MeSH headings
  • Slide 191
  • Required (if applicable) Headings Revised 2012/12 PubMed for Trainers 191 Search tip: Use terms for species, sex and age in your search if appropriate.
  • Slide 192
  • Indexing: When a Concept isnt Found Revised 2012/12 PubMed for Trainers 192 If an exact heading does not exist, indexers use the most specific heading available. Example: Ashi points in acupuncture Acupuncture points
  • Slide 193
  • Exercise Revised 2012/12 PubMed for Trainers 193 How would an article about preventing heart diseases in women be indexed for MEDLINE?
  • Slide 194
  • Indexing: Coordination Revised 2012/12 PubMed for Trainers 194 Because most concepts cannot be adequately described with a single MeSH term: indexers use a combination of the appropriate: MeSH headings, subheadings, and other terms to index a concept as specifically as possible. This is called coordination.
  • Slide 195
  • Indexing: Coordination Revised 2012/12 PubMed for Trainers 195 We will discuss four types of coordination: 1. Subheading 2. Multiple headings 3. Multiple subheadings 4. Pre-coordinated headings
  • Slide 196
  • Indexing: Coordination (Using Subheadings) Revised 2012/12 PubMed for Trainers 196 Coordination can be done using a subheading to describe a specific aspect of a topic. Example: Radiographic imaging of a lung tumor. Lung Neoplasms/radiography
  • Slide 197
  • Indexing: Coordination (Using Multiple Headings) Revised 2012/12 PubMed for Trainers 197 Coordination can be done using two or more headings. Mucinous adenocarcinoma of the ovary Adenocarcinoma, Mucinous Ovarian Neoplasms
  • Slide 198
  • Indexing: Coordination (Using Two or More Subheadings) Revised 2012/12 PubMed for Trainers 198 Coordination can be done using two or more subheadings. /drug therapy on a disease term /therapeutic use on a drug term Example: Treatment of HIV infections with HIV protease inhibitors. HIV Infections/drug therapy HIV Protease Inhibitors/therapeutic use

  • Exercise: Coordinated Indexing Revised 2012/12 PubMed for Trainers 199 Use the MeSH Database and the PubMed search builder to find article discussing prostate cancer as the main focus of the article. Narrow your results to those involving treatment by leuprolide.
  • Slide 200
  • Indexing: Coordination (Using Two or More Subheadings) Revised 2012/12 PubMed for Trainers 200 /secondary on the site to which a cancer has metastasized /secondary on the histologic/tissue type term /pathology on the primary/original organ neoplasm term Example: Liver Neoplasms/secondary metastasized site Adenocarcinoma/secondary tissue type Colonic Neoplasms/pathology primary/original site
  • Slide 201
  • Indexing: Coordination (Using a Pre-coordinated Heading) Revised 2012/12 PubMed for Trainers 201 Coordination can be done using a "pre-coordinated" MeSH heading which combines two concepts into one. Example: Staphylococcal pneumonia Pneumonia, Staphylococcal Rather than: Pneumonia (or Pneumonia, Bacterial) Staphylococcal Infections

Identify subheadings to describe specific aspects of the topic of interest for better results. Restrict your search to MeSH major topic for higher relevancy. Find the most specific term available to describe topics of an article. Indexers use the most specific term, you should too. Search terms for species, sex, age, historical time period and pregnancy when applicable. These terms are added by indexers. Consider using these for searching.
