Earlier this month, Google Scholar released the 2018 Scholar Metrics. It covers articles from 2013-2017 and those indexed as of July 2018. Metrics include journal articles from websites and select conference papers from Computer Science & Electrical Engineering.  Users may also browse by categories like Public Health and Food Science and Technology.

You may access Google from the MSK Library’s Databases A-Z list.  Additionally, if you are new to Google Scholar, please feel free to ASK US.

Use Builder in PubMed Advanced Search to create complex searches for the best results.

1. Search by keyword in a specific field of a PubMed record (e.g. Affiliation, Author, Title, Title/Abstract) or in All Fields

You can search in particular fields for precision and build your search strategy step by step in Builder and combine steps using Boolean Operators (AND, OR, NOT).

2.  Combine search sets (or different search strategies) from your search History.

Use search sets/strategies as “building blocks” by adding them from the History to Builder and then combine them using Boolean Operators (AND, OR, NOT). This  allows you to create complex search strategies easily, coming up with a final, duplicates free, results set.

3. Grow and save your search

Left click the order number from the search History to display a menu for that search. Save in My NCBI to create saved search strategies and email alerts.

The Web of Science platform is a rich resource providing access to multidisciplinary indexes with bibliographic content and links to full text journal articles (based on institutional subscription access) in the biomedical sciences, natural sciences, engineering, social sciences, and arts & humanities.

You can now save your searches and set up alerts.  To learn about how to stay up-to-date, click on the link below to view a brief training video (3:11 min):
