Literature Search Guide

Interested in research publication but still in the researching stage? Check out the below guide!

This guide was created to walk a user through a literature search as it relates to EBM: from creating a search question from a basic need (clinical or research) to searching the literature, to evaluating and applying the medical literature to your question. It is also great for those who simply need a refresher: skip ahead to tabs covering basic and advanced search strategies
