Abstract

The prime objective of this article is to introduce the newer methods to access, search and process MEDLINE citations. It also aims to provide a brief overview of each service's salient features. A targeted search was conducted in MEDLINE through the OVID gateway. This was followed with a search in Google Scholar as well as Google and Bing. Ninety-two web-based services that can be used to search MEDLINE were identified. The list was shortened to 24 by applying a set of relevancy criteria to select those services more relevant to general medical and dental users. Salient features of the selected services are outlined and a use case based classification of the system has been proposed to help dental practitioners and researchers select the appropriate service for a given purpose.

摘要

本文的主要目的是介绍获取、搜索和处理MEDLINE文献引用的更新方法。它还旨在简要概述每项服务的显著特征。通过OVID网关在MEDLINE中进行了定向搜索。随后在谷歌学术以及谷歌和必应中进行了搜索。识别出了92个可用于搜索MEDLINE的基于网络的服务。通过应用一组相关性标准，将列表缩短至24个，以选择那些与普通医学和牙科用户更相关的服务。概述了所选服务的显著特征，并提出了基于用例的系统分类，以帮助牙科从业者和研究人员为特定目的选择合适的服务。
