LibGuides: Searching Ovid Databases: Home

Ovid is an advanced search platform allowing you to perform sophisticated literature searches. The Ovid platform provides access to a number of different research databases (some of which are also available on other platforms e.g. EBSCO). It is good practice to search each database individually. Searching more than one database at a time will disable the thesaurus feature and is not advisable for comprehensive systematic searching.
