For those of you who prefer searching Ovid Medline, they have created a number of Expert Searches on Covid-related (and many other) topics.
This can save you oodles of time and typing!
Ovid's disclaimer:
- This page is intended to provide some hints, advice and suggestions about how search strategies might be built, not to act in place of strategies built with expert subject knowledge or the assistance of a Medical Librarian.
Click the green down arrow to see the search strategy.
Here's an example of the expert search strategy for best evidence for cloth face masks:
Click on "Launch Ovid Expert Search" to run the search in Ovid Medline.
- Be patient. This may take a minute or so to run, but it's worth it when you see the time it will save you in typing it all in by hand!
- Once you run the Expert Search Strategy, you can then modify the search as needed, including using limits to get it down to a manageable size.
