PubMed's Single Citation Matcher

Use the Single Citation Matcher to retrieve all citations for searched fields.

The Single Citation Matcher has a fill-in-the-blank form for searching for a citation when you have some bibliographic information, such as journal name, title words, year, volume, or page number.

• Click Single Citation Matcher on the PubMed homepage.
• Enter the citation information.

More information about using the Single Citation Matcher:

• The “Journal” box includes an autocomplete feature that suggests titles as you enter a title abbreviation or full title. Titles displayed by the autocomplete menu are in ranked order based on the number of citations in PubMed.

• The “Author” box also includes an autocomplete feature that suggests author names in ranked order based on the number of citations. Full author names may be searched for citations published from 2002 forward if the full author’s name is available in the article.

• Click either the “Only as first author'” or “Only as last author” check box to limit an author name to the first or last author.

• The “Title Words” search box feature is to search by the article title, or any words within the article title.
