The new PubMed interface is now available, after months of testing and refining by the National Library of Medicine and librarians and end users around the globe. This new PubMed will become the default interface in May 2020, however access to "legacy" PubMed will be available for a short time. For more information about the transition to new PubMed, see https://support.nlm.nih.gov/knowledgebase/article/KA-05275/en-us.

For help with new PubMed features, please see the National Library of Medicine FAQs and guide at https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/help/ the or contact the librarians at Lister Hill Library at https://library.uab.edu/help.

The Filters Sidebar allows you to easily focus your search.

The video below from the National Library of Medicine shows you how to narrow your search results using the Filters Sidebar.

These are additional filters to focus your search.  Remember, for comprehensive searches, search PubMed directly.

• Clinical Queries Searches are limited to specific clinical areas. Includes clinical study categories, systematic reviews and medical genetics topics.   Learn More

• Health Services Research Queries   Specialized PubMed searches on healthcare quality and costs. Searches are limited to specific research areas. 
   
• Use the Subject Filter to limit your search to specific subjects including AIDS, Cancer, Toxicology, History of Medicine and others.  Simple instructions.

My NCBI users can make their own custom filters for PubMed.  Learn how here.
