Abstract:
Objective To improve the understanding of medical literature databases in order to correctly select and use them. Methods The use of 4 common medical literature databases in China was comparatively analyzed. Re-sults Repetitive and incomplete literature coverage, imperfect key retrieval techniques, insufficient retrieval func-tions, loose design, and unscientific retrieval systems were the major problems of the 4 commonly used Chinese medical literature databases. Conclusion The user should know the weak points of different databases and selectively use them. Standardization and quality control of medical literature databases should be further improved.
