This guide covers search tools for research in topics related to biomedical engineering.

Getting Started

Start with:

Engineering Village
Search journal articles on engineering. Searches both Inspec and Compendex for articles and conference papers related to engineering, computer science, and physics.
PubMed
Searches MEDLINE, which is the primary source of journal articles for the health sciences (fields of medicine, nursing, dentistry, veterinary medicine, public health, health care systems, and basic sciences). Coverage is from the 1940s to the present.

Then try any of the following:

BIOSIS (Biology)
Via Web of Science, BIOSIS covers life sciences and biomedical research covering pre-clinical and experimental research, methods and instrumentation, animal studies, and more. Access content from journals, meetings, patents, and books.

Also check out:

Knovel
Online access to books, databases, and conference proceedings from a number of publishers that cover all areas of engineering and includes content relevant to related sciences (e.g., chemistry and earth sciences). It includes interactive graphs and tables.

For a tutorial on using Knovel, go to Start a research project with Knovel.
