description There are many articles published regularly in the literature dealing with various aspects of “Research Methodology”. Techniques of manuscript writing and various strategies for statistical analysis have been very well documented in the past. However, when it comes to conducting a thorough literature search using the most comprehensive online database i.e. PubMed, the literature is surprisingly scant. Pubmed (Medline) is the primary source of literature search for research citations in medicine. However, getting the optimum result is a difficult task. Often the search results are either too voluminous or not to the point. This article illustrates strategies using which the PubMed search engine can be used optimally to perform a thorough and exhaustive literature search, thereby yielding the desired papers published previously.
