MEDLINE Searching Strategies

Combining Search Sets (1)

Ovid has added a new set to our Search History.

This set combines the two headings using the logical operator OR, so it will include articles indexed to EITHER of these headings. The "*" before each heading indicates that we used the Focus feature to limit the set to articles where these headings are a major point, or focus.

Now we want to establish the relationship between the two important concepts in our original question (represented by the search sets below) and begin to decrease the number (and increase the relevancy) of citations.

Click on the Combine icon in the Ovid tool bar.
