This page includes an overview of Scopus Searching. The subtabs above and the links below have tutorials on:
Finding articles (document searching) Refining and Organizing Your Search Advanced search Finding author information
In Advanced Search, add "AND NOT INDEX(medline)" at the end of the query and most PubMed results will be excluded.
Caution: Use "AND NOT" carefully. Scopus and PubMed retrieve results differently so it is possible to retrieve records in Scopus that you missed in PubMed.
