Search Filters

Health Sciences librarians at the University of Alberta Library have developed search filters intended for knowledge syntheses such as systematic reviews. This includes search filters for Indigenous Peoples by province or territory within Canada as well as the United States, Australasia, Europe, and Latin America. Search filters are designed for OVID Medline, EBSCO CINAHL, and EMBASE databases. They may also be useful for developing search terms for projects other than knowledge syntheses.
