1950s-current. A major source for scholarly biomedical literature.

  • To search for a phrase, enter it without quotation marks so that PubMed's  Automatic Term Mapping (ATM) feature will be activated. 
  • PubMed automatically places the AND operator between your search terms. When you want to be sure the correct Boolean operator (AND, OR, NOT) is used, enter it in uppercase.
  • Truncation turns off ATM and the automatic addition of MeSH terms. For example, heart attack* will not prompt a search for the MeSH term Myocardial Infarction.
