Text mining is a way to help you identify search terms by using software to check text for recurrent words or phrases. Some free text mining tools are listed below.
PubMed is the free version of MEDLINE, so its abstracts and citations are easily mined. You can use these tools:
A search filter is a pre-made search strategy. They are developed to search complex concepts (or concepts that require many search terms) and they can be copied and pasted into a database, edited and combined with the rest of your search.
Using a search filter can save time and effort. They are designed to be either precise, balanced or specific, depending on what results you want to yield.
There are a range of search filters available depending on your needs. Some are designed to retrieve specific study designs, others will retrieve records based on topic, or to identify clinical concepts, or features such as the age or gender of research study participants.
