Abstract
PubMed is a freely accessible database specialized in health sciences, with more than 19 million bibliographical references. Because of its thematic coverage, including journals (more than 80 related to rheumatology), biomedical terminology and constant updating, consultation of this database by rheumatologists requiring information is a necessity. PubMed not only allows simple searches but also runs more complex queries through search functions for fields, MeSH terms or limits. The results of these searches can be saved with different tools and displayed in distinct formats. This article provides an overview of the major utilities of PubMed, accompanied by examples, and some recommendations on how to make searches more effective.
