Evidence-Based Dentistry: Searching Scopus

Searching Scopus

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                             

Search Scopus


 

Exclude PubMed Results

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.
