ALTBIB Topic-Specific Searches

NICEATM and the USDA National Agricultural Library's Animal Welfare Information Center have collaborated to develop search hedges on topics focused on replacement of animal use. Search hedges are pre-made, standardized search strings that can be used to identify relevant articles for a specific research topic or population from the PubMed database.

To use the hedge:

  • Select a search topic from the list.
  • Add one or more additional search terms to the text field below the list.
    • Optional search terms will be added to the PubMed query using "AND."
  • Click "Search" button.
  • A PubMed window will open with your search results.

These hedges were developed as a replacement for topic-specific searches that were included in previous versions of ALTBIB. Additional topics are under development; please contact NICEATM if you have suggestions for hedge topics.
