Pub Med Overview From the main HINARI webpage

Pub. Med Overview From the main HINARI webpage, we can access Pub. Med by clicking on Search HINARI journal articles through Pub. Med (Medline). This is an invaluable tool for identifying full-text articles and linking directly to the document. Note: If you do not properly sign on, you will not have access to full text articles from the HINARI/Pub. Med database.

We now will have opened HINARI/Pub. Med and will enter a search in the Pub. Med Search box. In this example, we will enter a search for malaria infections AND Africa into the Search or query box. To execute the query, click on the Search button.

Results of the search are displayed in the main body of the page. Note the two additional filters for Free Full Text and HINARI articles. Of the 3401 articles, 1377 are available via the HINARI filter and 992 with Free full text filter ( there are some overlaps).

Pub. Med also contains an additional hypertext link for Free full text articles. By clicking on this link, you will be redirected to the Abstract display and be able to access the full text. Note: Access to HINARI articles also is from the Abstract display or the HINARI Filter.

You have numerous Display Settings options. From the Display Settings drop down menu, we have clicked on the Abstract Format, 20 Items per Page and Recently Added Sort by options.

We have displayed the search results using the Abstract display. By clicking on the HINARI or the Free article icons, we can access the full-text article.

In order to save the citations and abstracts, we would open the Send To drop down menu. From this menu, we are able to select the File, Collections, Order, Clipboard and E-mail options.

To use these options, you must place check marks in the boxes to the left of the citations that you wish to send to File, Collections, Order, Clipboard and E-mail options. If you do not place check marks in the boxes, the entire search results will be sent to the option you choose. Note how Pub. Med lists the # of citations you have checked.

In this example, we will email the search results. From the Send To drop down menu, we have selected the E-mail with the Summary and Recently added options. The search results will be sent to the e-mail address you entered as the recipient.

Limits From the initial (HINARI) Pub. Med page, we will also can open the Limits search option. This is another invaluable tool to find the specific articles that are of interest to you.

Limits allows you to search more effectively in the Pub. Med database. Searches can be limited by restricting terms to fields or setting specific date or record tagging parameters. We will highlight several Limits options.

In the Published in the Last drop down menu, there are numerous options ranging from Any date (the default) to 10 years and Specify date range. We will click on the 1 year option and then the Search button – for the HIV AND Pregnancy search.

By using the 1 year Limits option, we have a search with 488 citations. The Limits Activated are highlighted in a yellow box with Change and Remove (hypertext) options. We will click on the Change link and return to Limits.

Using the HIV AND pregnancy search, we will add the English languages Limit, we will check the boxes of two Ages Limits: Adolescent 13 -18 years and Young Adult 19 -24 years. Finally, we will click on the Search button. Note that there are many other useful Limits that can be added.

By using the English languages Limit option and the Adolescent and Young Adult Ages Limits, we have a search with 2259 citations.

MY NCBI We briefly will discuss the My NCBI option on the top right-hand side of the webpage. Each individual must Register for this option.

After registering, we suggest that each person add two Filters – Free Full Text and HINARI.

We have now completed a Pub. Med search for hiv AND pregnancy. There are now three results filters – All, Free Full Text, and HINARI. To retain this search in your My NCBI account , you would click on the Save Search hypertext link. Via your My NCBI account, you can have email messages sent to you that will include citations and abstracts for all new Free Full Text and HINARI articles on this subject.

We have opened the My Saved Data listing. You can see a list of the saved searches - ‘hiv and pregnancy’ and ‘malaria and bednets’ in this example. This registered person will receive weekly emails with new articles for these saved searches.

We will discuss one final option called Collections – MY NCBI. While MY NCBI is active, we have completed a Pub. Med search for diabetes AND developing countries. This search has resulted in 1232 citations that are in the Summary display.

We have checked the boxes in the first five citations from this search. In the Send to drop down menu, we have activated Collections and will click on Add to Collections.

In the MY NCBI Collections page, you can note that 5 items from Pub. Med have been transferred. We have clicked on the Create new collection button and, in the Enter a name for your collection box, written diabetes and dev ctries. To save this collection, we will click on the Save button.

This slide confirms that Your collection was saved.

Training Materials From the initial page of the HINARI website, we have accessed the Training Materials listing. A combination of Power. Point presentations and Word exercises, these modules are for instruction at your institution and can be adapted locally. This slide lists the modules for the principal components of HINARI. Note the Additional Resources module which features the material in the Reference Sources section. (e. g. CINAHL, Evidence-based Practice Resources).

We have accessed the Module 4. Pub. Med. Note that there are 6 unique modules that cover the key aspects of HINARI/Pub. Med.

We have highlighted the material in the Brief Training section. Note the Short Course that is geared toward training your institution’s users and also the Problems and Solutions modules. We now will view the Authorship Skills modules.

Due to requests from participants at workshops, the Authorship Skills modules have been developed. This material reviews the peer-review publishing process, discusses copyright and plagiarism issues and includes a web-bibliography with annotated links to material on the Internet.
