PubMed Tips for Full Text

Do you know how to find full text articles in PubMed? There are various methods to limiting your search results to all full text journals in PubMed or free full text in PubMed or to those journals owned by the UAMS Library (both electronic and print). You may want to add the following tag commands to your PubMed search strategy where appropriate.

Each of these commands must be typed in lower case and connected to your search strategy by AND in all caps. See screen capture for example.

• Free Full Text in PubMed
  • free full text[sb]
    
• Full Text Journals in PubMed
  • full text[sb]
    
• Journals in PubMed available @ UAMS Library
  • loprovuamslib[filter]

You may also want to familiarize yourself with the icons listed next to each citation in the Summary display. The full page icons with green and green/orange bars are only shown for Free articles. Many full text articles will have the abstract icon.

If you have questions about these tips or would like additional information or training on PubMed, please contact Susan Steelman, MLIS – Coordinator of Outreach Services, 686-6737 or SteelmanSusanC@uams.edu.
