Use Single Citation Matcher to Find the Article You Need

Posted on by

When trying to find a particular article, it is often helpful to use PubMed’s Single Citation Matcher. Enter the citation information that you have (Journal, Date, Volume, First page, Author, etc.) in the appropriate fields, and it will narrow your search to help you find the article you need. The more information you input, the more likely you are to retrieve just the one article you are seeking. If you only have part of the citation information, however, you can still input the information and then search among the results to find your article.

If you have any questions about using this PubMed feature, don’t hesitate to contact Reference at 212-639-7439 or asklibrarian@mskcc.org.
