Many thanks to everyone on lismedical who has helped with my numerous queries about how to translate commands from Ovid to SilverPlatter. The Caspfew site has a selection of untested filters for Psychinfo, Embase and Cinahl in Ovid format only. I've now finished my first attempt at translating their filters into SilverPlatter speak. If you would like to use or trial the results the Embase filters are below. I'd be interested to read any comments or suggestions that anyone has. The results of the Psychinfo and Cinahl filters will follow shortly.
