How to Cite DynaMed Content?

 

Question: How do I cite a clinical overview article from DynaMed?

Answer:  Use the How to Cite feature at the bottom of any DynaMed clinical overview.

• Open a clinical overview in DynaMed.
• On the left side table-of-contents, scroll down to the bottom of the References section.
• How to Cite is the last item in the document. [See yellow highlight above.]

How to Cite

National Library of Medicine, or "Vancouver style" (International Committee of Medical Journal Editors):

• DynaMed [Internet]. Ipswich (MA): EBSCO Information Services. 1995 - . Record No. T114703, Temporomandibular Disorders; [updated 2018 Nov 30, cited place cited date here]. Available from https://www.dynamed.com/topics/dmp~AN~T114703. Registration and login required.

• The citation includes a permalink or stable url to make it easy to revisit later.  

What about those dates?

• 1995 is the date DynaMed as a database was first published.  This won't change.
• Nov. 30, 2018 is the last date this particular article was updated.  
• This may differ for every article within DynaMed, and may change later.  

• The pre-formatted citation also includes a "Place cited date here."  
• You will need to include the date YOU consulted/cited the article.  
• This is necessary because DynaMed content is continually being updated.  
• When you add the date cited, you essentially date-stamp it for when you used it.  

Other Important Info:

• The fully formatted citation can be copied and pasted to where you need it.  
• DynaMed uses the NLM or Vancouver Style format.  So if you need APA or some other format, be prepared to translate it into your required citation format.
