Search Tips

  • Use quotation marks around phrases (except in PubMed)
    • "osteogenesis imperfecta"
  • Use medical terms as well as layman's terms/synonyms
    • "brittle bone disease"
    • "Lobstein syndrome"
  • You may need to spell out your phrase instead of (or in addition to) using its acronym.
    • Example: Use "osteogenesis imperfecta" in addition to OI

​​Sample search string: "osteogenesis imperfecta" OR "brittle bone disease"

PubMed Search Tips

  • Do not use quotation marks to search phrases
  • Do use regular vocabulary or medical terminology, as PubMed employs a smart search technology called automatic term mapping (ATM)
