Did You Hear? Proximity Searching is Now Available in PubMed!

The National Library of Medicine is pleased to announce proximity search capabilities have been added to PubMed. This means you can now search for multiple terms appearing in any order within a specified distance of one another in the [Title] or [Title/Abstract] fields. You’ll find details on how to build a proximity search as well as examples in the new NLM Technical Bulletin article, PubMed Update: Proximity Search Now Available in PubMed. You can also check out the newly added “Proximity Searching” section of the PubMed User Guide here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/help/#proximity-searching Finally, NLM’s Office of Education and Training and NCBI have assembled a Quick Tour introducing users to the basics of Proximity Searching, which can be found via this direct link. This tour has also been added to the PubMed Trainer’s Toolkit. Have fun exploring!The post Did You Hear? Proximity Searching is Now Available in PubMed! first appeared on Midwest Matters.
