Lliterature review - (Oct/27/2010 )

Hi everyone ...

I need to to know what is the best way to find out about all the recent publication about a specific topic. How can I investigate all the recent candidate genes for a specific cancer?
I did google serach and have used Pubmed as well but couldnt get the result that I needed...
Any idea how I can improve my literature search to get the exact publication...how I can narrow down my search to get the better and more accurate result?

Thank you very much for your help in advance :)

Hello,

on Pubmed, u can use the limits option to narrow your search to a specific date/study/...etc
i also find searching on this : edit a useful one.
i always believe that the trick is in the words you use in your search ... make them specific.

All The Good Luck :)
