Searching abstracts inside a Review
Use the search box to select results inside a review for faster screening
When inspecting Review Details, users can take advantage of the search box to craft custom search criteria using tags, keywords, etc using a simplified query language.

Keyword Matching

The simplest method is just to type the key terms to be matched. These will be searched in the title and publication name:

Results query language

Complex search criteria on the results of a review can be created with the results query language. In the search box, users can write queries of the form parameter: <value> parameter2: <value> parameter3: <value>
The table below summarizes the query parameters available (a detailed list is in the Query Parameters section below):
Parameter
What it does
​match:
Match specified keyterms in article title and publication name
​tag:
Match only articles with a specific AI Tag. (for the opposite effect use notag:
​by:
Matches articles last updated by user matching <user>
​source:
Matches articles from a given source (pubmed, doaj, crossref, etc.)
​comment:
Matches the contents in article's comment section of the most recent screening decision (if any)

Examples

Below are examples of how to combine different criteria to retrieve results in a Review:
Task
Query
Retrieve all articles tagged as "Suspected AE"
tag:ae
Retrieve all articles containing the word "acetamoniphen" and containing a patient mention (patient tag)
match:acetaminophen tag:patient
Retrieve all articles containing a screening decision from user user1 and the word allergic reactionin the comments section.
by:juser1 comment:allergic reaction
Only articles from PubMed tagged with a special situation
source:pubmed tag:special

Example: Search all abstracts from DOAJ matching with "case" in the title:
source:doaj match:case
Example: Adverse articles updated by user "admin"
tag:ae by:admin
