How to conduct an effective literature search: step by step

Introduction

Take This Event

An effective literature search can be an informative, critical, and useful synthesis of a particular topic if it is done in the right way. Healthcare workers are daily searching PubMed, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Google Scholar, and many others databases. Searching the literature depends on multiple elements such as the clinical question, selection of search terms, framing the questions and many more that we will discuss during this session.
