2. Create a search using the connectors AND, OR.

3. Use Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) to construct a search.

4. Narrow the results by using filters like publication type, language, and age.

5. Set up a My NCBI account and save PubMed searches.

6. Utilize the “Send to” options to email or save citations.
