Don’t get Tripped Up While Using the Trip Database

Aside from its excellent PICO formatted search query option and its clearly labeled evidence hierarchy system, Trip now offers a couple of other useful functions to enhance your workflow. After signing-up with the database (and upgrading to a premium account), you will have the ability to export citations to Excel spreadsheets and EndNote, as well as translate citation information into one of six language: Cymraeg, Francais, Deutsche, Espanol, Italiano, and Portugues. Look for these functions at the top of your search results page.

Please ask us if you would like help navigating the Trip Database or need EndNote support.

PubMed Makes it Easier to Find References

PubMed has a built-in discovery tool called Similar Articles (formerly labeled Related Citations). This feature appears below each reference on a list of results as well as on the abstract view page for a reference. The name was changed to make this feature clearer to users. It’s a useful tool to be aware of, especially for those tough searches that don’t yield a sufficient number of results. See the screenshots below for examples of what you can expect to see in PubMed.

As always, if you’re having trouble with your research or finding references, we’re here to help so choose ones of the many ways to Ask Us!
