Embase is a medical and pharma resourch. It is an essential resource to search when you are writing a systematic review, scoping review, thesis, or journal article for publication. The Advanced Search allows you to search for keywords and subject headings (called Emtree) that can improve search results. Embase contains Medline content within it, so if you have already searched Medline, you can exclude that content from your results list by adding this code to the end of your search string: NOT [medline]/lim. Alternatively, you can click on the Sources filter on the results page, and click on the Embase portion of the venn diagram and click on Apply.
The library provides 1:1 tutorials on searching Embase which can be booked on our Clinical Query Service Online Form.
More information on using Embase is provided in the Library Bitesize instruction video on the Library Moodle page.
