SearchPlus
Combines SciSearch and SocialSciSearch. Includes content from over 8,700 journals in both basic and behavioral sciences. SearchPlus covers most of the content available through PsycINFO and Medline from 1945 to the present, and includes links to UNM library holdings and full text. The primary difference is that SearchPlus allows cited reference searching. Cited reference searching allows you to look both forward (find all publications that reference a particular paper) and backward (examine the complete reference list of a particular paper) in the literature. In this way the searcher has access to the complete line of thought that led to a particular paper or body of work, and is not limited to simple keyword searching. This is particularly helpful for searching new fields that may not yet have accurate or consistent keywords in other search indices. This means of searching is also helpful with the researcher is "stuck," e.g., having has just one or two references for a topic but no common keyword emerges, as it allows one to build a reference list indirectly through examination of the cited and citing references.
