Subheadings |
Subheadings are used to further describe a particular aspect of a subject heading concept. Terms such as "etiology" or "therapy," when combined with a subject heading, give a precise idea of what an article covers. Use a subheading when it matches one of your concepts, otherwise include them all. e.g. use urinary tract infections/prevention and control when looking for articles about preventing UTIs |
