Search strings used in QuickPubMed

Principles and overview of search strings used in QuickPubMed – Diabetes.

Content

    To make QuickPubMed as directly usable as possible, the search strings are composed to have such high specificity that the user can expect to find several relevant references in the search result.

    At the same time, it means that some relevant references may not appear in the search results.

    The search strings used in the simple search will usually result in at least 7 out of 10 being relevant to the selected topic. The more topics you choose, the more relevant the results should be.
