Dear All,
This seemed straightforward, until I tried it. So maybe it isn’t, or maybe it is just me…
I had already done a Medline search and sent results.
My research team colleagues would now like an Embase search, but they don’t want to see anything they already saw in the Medline list.
I know in Embase you can limit to Medline records or to Embase records, but the numbers of results don’t look right to me. I’d expect more Medline records.
I have tried various things with de-duplicating in RefWorks but again the numbers left don’t look right (and I am sure I am left with things that are unique in Medline, not in Embase).
Has anyone had to do this? And if so, how did you?
Legacy RefWorks, HDAS databases. Have not tried Ovid but could do.
Thanks!
Keith
