Search Results

With only 38 results, it's clear that you will need to add more synonyms to the search.

Abstract Page, Cited References

On the Abstract page, you can find notonly the abstract, but also KeyWords Plus, which can help you revise your search.  The Citation Network box shows how often this article has been cited by another article in this same database. Cited reference searching lets you look into the future in the same way that a list of references in an article lets you look into the past.

Search Tip - Cited Reference Searching

A useful tool, cited reference searching, lets you look into the future, at articles that have referenced an article in your list of results.  In Embase, you'll see a Cited by:[#] notation after many articles, which tells you that this article has been cited by that number of articles in a particular database.
