2.4.b Focus a search

PubMed interface changed a few weeks ago. Now there is a new “Filter options” that replaced the Limits function. The new filters appear to the left of your results pages.

 

To apply a filter just click on it. Only the most popular filters display by default. You can click “Choose additional filters” to view more options, and the selection of multiple filters is allowed. To deselect a filter, click the filter name again.

Note that active Limits appear above your search results.
To clear all of your Filters selections, click Clear all.
Checkboxes may be selected for Type of Article, Languages, Subsets, Ages, Species (Humans or Animals), Sex, Dates, and Text Options.
