PubMed: Basics of Searching

In this lecture, we'll focus on the most common search techniques and demonstrate how to use them in PubMed. Specifically, we'll discuss using the Boolean operators AND and OR to combine search terms, nesting to group similar terms, truncation to search for words with multiple endings, and quotes to search for phrases.

I highly recommend investing in a good microphone and recording in an environment that allows for good sound insulation. To be fair, it seems that all the top YT search results have poor audio quality

[CommandoX]

Does "OR" function as "AND/OR"?

For example,
"Black OR red": would this allow results in which both "black" and "red" are present?

Thank you.

says nothing about if pubmed is peer-reviewed or not. Is all Pubmed articles peer-reviewed?? How do you know if its peer-reviewed????
