Where can I find medical journals that accept online surveys?

 

7 trustworthy search engines for health-related content

1. PubMed

• For health writers, PubMed is often the first online search engine that springs to mind. It is a free online repository of medical journal articles hosted by the National Library of Medicine of the United States National Institutes of Health (NLM). 

• It searches multiple databases, including MEDLINE and others produced by the NLM, such MedlinePlus, and has over 25 million records in it. By entering search phrases to the MeSH (Medical subject text heading) field in PubMed, you can quickly narrow your search by topic and locate certain journal articles. 

• If you're writing patient education materials, it's also a terrific resource.

2. Ovid

• Other search engines, like Ovid, Ebscohost, and ProQuest, search MEDLINE if you have a login access from your institution. Like PubMed, Ovid is a search engine. 

• In comparison to PubMed, it has the advantage of searching more databases, such as EMBASE and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, in addition to MEDLINE (CDSR). 

• As a result, your search will return more results, giving you more supporting data for your work.

3. Web of Science

• Thomson Reuters provides Web of Science with a big database containing 8,700 worldwide scientific journals. A subscription is necessary to view the articles in the database, which contains content from numerous Asian-language worldwide media.

• If you're drafting protocols or guidelines, Web of Science is a handy database you can search to find academic research information on new trends. It spans more than 250 fields in the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences.

4. ScienceDirect

• ScienceDirect may be a name you are already accustomed to. The fact that it is a full-text scientific resource will be very helpful to you when you need to read more than just the abstract before writing.

• You can use the search engine to find articles in more than 3,800 academic publisher Elsevier-owned journals of science, technology, and medicine.

• SpringerLink, a similar site with access to more than five million articles in journals run by the publisher Springer, is another option.

5. Scopus

• According to a review written in 2006 by an American researcher, Scopus can be an excellent complement to Web of  Science if you frequently use it to look for articles because neither database has all publications.

• Elsevier also owns Scopus, a big database with approximately 60 million pieces of peer-reviewed literature. Scopus connects to the MEDLINE and EMBASE databases to conduct journal article record searches.

• More than 4,200 full-text journals' full-text articles are available to you, but certain full-text journal articles may require a login and subscription.

6. Cochrane Library

• Search the Cochrane Library if you're seeking for systematic reviews or meta-analyses. Cochrane library searches can return results from control trials in MEDLINE and EMBASE, Cochrane protocols, and editorials in addition to CDSR (Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews) results.

• A search engine with a subscription model is Cochrane Library. Nevertheless, depending on when the paper was published, some open-access articles might be retrievable.

7. Google Scholar

• A free medical journal search engine called Google Scholar indexes journal articles from several databases.

• If you frequently use Google to conduct online searches, using Google Scholar will come rather naturally to you, and you will be able to navigate and filter the results to your search needs with ease.

• After your initial search, Google Scholar is a fantastic secondary search engine to employ. A search in Google Scholar can frequently assist you in discovering an article if you're having problems finding it.
