MEDICAL LITERATURE SEARCH ENGINE


A medical literature search engine is a centralized browser-based platform with literature related to

any of the medical subjects.

HOW TO FIND A MEDICAL JOURNAL SEARCH ENGINE

Search engines are programmed to be connected with the archives of published literature that are stored inside online subject-specific academic databases like the medical literature database.

Huge databases of medical articles are indexed with millions of journals from all over the world. A single database cannot provide all the medical literature.
