Narrowing the Results
In the "Get References" menu, select "Selected Substances" to see only the substances you checked. You can narrow the list of references by selecting what types of references you want to see. In this example, from our search by molecular formula, we have decided to narrow the list to preparations only:
![]()
After viewing the list of references, you may want to narrow the list again by choosing "Analyze or Refine References:"
![]()
The "Refine" menu offers several choices for narrowing the results of your search:
![]()
You may find it helpful to restrict your references by language, date of publication, or document type:
![]()
![]()
![]()
The list of references will look something like this example (from our search by substance identifier):
We have used all three to refine this search. ![]()
The Remove Duplicates button takes out duplication between MEDLINE and SciFinder Scholar.
Next: Select and Find Specific Articles about your substance.
