Find Half-Remembered Journal Articles with Single Citation Matcher
Do you ever remember reading a paper, but can’t remember enough about it to find it easily in a normal Pubmed search? Do you have a paper copy of an article that lacks full bibliographic information?
PubMed offers Single Citation Matcher, which provides a great interactive interface to finding that article you need, and it’s available from the sidebar of all PubMed pages.
Basically, you start typing in any bibliographic information you have: the journal name, authors, dates, and/or title words. The interface even has autocompletion for the journal name and author names, based on number of citations.
PubMed even offers a helpful animated tutorial.
