Tools for searching the scholarly literature
• A database is a specialised research tool that identify useful journal articles
• There are a range of nursing/medical databases: – CINAHL, Embase, Medline, Cochrane Library,
Clinical Evidence, Proquest Health, Informit Health, PsycInfo and more ..

Types of databases
• Citation databases include the citation, subject headings, abstract - sometimes they link to full text e.g. Medline and CINAHL
• Full Text databases include the citation, abstract and in most cases the full text of an article e.g. Proquest Nursing and Allied Health
• Pre-appraised evidence databases:– Clinical Evidence summarise the current state of
knowledge and uncertainty about the prevention and treatment of clinical conditions, based on thorough searches and appraisal of the literature
– The Cochrane Library is a multi-database resource which varies in output e.g. the Cochrane Database for Systematic Reviews contains complete systematic reviews
