Database-Specific Searches
PubMed
PubMed has a number of subject filters built in and can be called by appending a search by typing the appropriate words and [sb]. As of 2020, these appear to no longer be maintained. I suggest using them as guidance.
- AIDS: use aids [sb]
- Bioethics: use bioethics [sb]
- Cancer: use cancer [sb]
- Complementary Medicine: use cam [sb]
- Developmental and Reproductive Toxicology: use dart [sb]
- Dietary Supplements: use dietsuppl [sb]
- History of Medicine: use history [sb]
- Space Life Sciences: use space [sb]
- Systematic Reviews: use systematic [sb]
- Toxicology: use tox [sbu]
- Veterinary Science: use veterinary [sb]
