Exercise 1 -- Basic
Find citations to articles about the ethics of liver transplantation. Check Details to see how the terms are mapped. Then display all the items retrieved on one page. Select a few items and add them to the Clipboard. Go to the Clipboard and view the selected items in Citation format.

  • Step 2: Click on Details to see how PubMed translated the terms you entered: ("ethics"[Subheading] OR "ethics"[All Fields] OR "ethics"[MeSH Terms]) AND ("liver transplantation"[MeSH Terms] OR ("liver"[All Fields] AND "transplantation"[All Fields]) OR "liver transplantation"[All Fields])

  • Step 3: Click Search to return to the search results. Use the Show pull-down to select 500.

  • Step 4: Review the items and select a few (by clicking the check box) that are interesting to you. Send these items to the Clipboard by selecting Clipboard from the Send to pull-down menu.
