PubMed Update: My NCBI Includes Filters
by Nancy Carter-Menendez, MLS
Information & Education Services Librarian
Filters that group search results by areas of interest are now available as part of My NCBI. The groups are displayed on tabs adjacent to the All (total results) tab just above the search results. From PubMed sign into My NCBI to select up to 5 filters. There is a short list of the most commonly selected filters and from there a link to the full list of filters. In order for filters to be active during a search session you must be signed into My NCBI. Unlike Limits, filter results are not cumulative – for example, if you select the filters English and human and then click on the human tab, the citations retrieved will be in English as well as in other languages. For additional information about My NCBI and filters go to http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/techbull/jf05/jf05_myncbi.html or http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/techbull/jf05/jf05_technote.html#review_filter .
