Module 2: Refining Your Search - Beyond Automatic Term Mapping

What Do I Do When My PubMed Search Isn’t Mapping to MeSH?


Overview


If your search terms are not mapping to MeSH terms, there are a few strategies you can try:

  1. Reviewing relevant articles for MeSH terms to search with
  2. Searching the MeSH Database directly for relevant terms
  3. Using specific phrase searching techniques

Each of these strategies are demonstrated in this section of the module.
