Search Strategy Used to Create the PubMed Space Life Sciences Filter

Return to PubMed Subject Filters

This strategy was developed by NLM and the former NASA SPACELINE Office and is intended to retrieve citations of interest to those working in the field of space life sciences research. This filter is not on the PubMed Filters sidebar (as of November 2010). This filter can be used in a search as space [sb].

     Example: exercise AND space [sb]
