Coverage: 1937 to present
Provides full text for more than 1,600 nursing and allied health journals dating back to 1937 and for more than 275 books or monographs. Includes Pre-CINAHL, which provides current awareness and citation information about recently published articles before being fully indexed. Offers access to "Quick Lessons" and "Evidence-Based Care Sheets".
Peer Reviewed – Limits search results to articles from peer-reviewed journals. Peer-reviewed journals are publications that include only those articles that have been reviewed and/or qualified by a selected panel of acknowledged experts in the field of study covered by the journal.
Date Published – Use this option to search for articles within a specified date range. Create a range by using the drop-down lists to specify the months of the range and enter the last four digits of the year in the entry fields to specify the years of the range.
Clinical Queries - Use to refine the search using specific search strategies designed to narrow the results in five research areas, Therapy, Prognosis, Review, Qualitative, and Causation (Etiology). Three strategies are provided for each area. High Sensitivity - the broadest search to include ALL relevant material. It may include less relevant materials. High Specificity - the most targeted search to include only the most relevant result set, may miss some relevant materials. Best Balance - retrieves the best balance between Sensitivity and Specificity.
Search Only Pre-CINAHL – This limiter in the "Search Options" area on the main search page limits a search to records only in Pre-CINAHL. Pre-CINAHL includes records that are not yet 100% indexed. These records are in process, and they do not have subject headings applied yet.
