Single Citation Matcher (Monday Memo 3/18/08)

You have probably been in this situation before. You remember an article that you read some time ago but can not remember all of the citation details. Or you are discussing a case with a colleague and the colleague says “there was a great article on just that topic in American Family Physician back in 2003.” Both PubMed and OVID/MEDLINE have a “Citation Matching” tool. In OVID, it is the second tab from the left above the search box. In PubMed, it is located on the blue left-hand navigation bar under PubMed Services. Just enter the pieces of information you know about the article and OVID or PubMed will try to find a match.
