Although the Systematic Review Methods subset for PubMed was available at the time when the present project began, there was no equivalent tool available for
Embase, a resource recommended as a complement to PubMed/MEDLINE searches, in part due to its broader international coverage of research literature [6].
During the six-month collaboration, BUCM, one of the first institutions of higher learning on TCM, will review terms and help build a detailed, robust taxonomy to encompass all TCM data in
Embase. The taxonomy will enrich and enhance the existing content in
Embase; making it easily discoverable to users seeking knowledge from clinical practices for modern biomedical sciences.
- Amsterdam, The Netherlands-based digital solutions provider Elsevier is working with Beijing University of Chinese Medicine (BUCM) to create a new taxonomy for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in the biomedical literature database,
Embase, the company said.

The KNOW project team plans to continue to search PubMed and
Embase each year using their specialized filters to get relevant articles on integrative oncology human studies for that year.
The databases used included PubMed, Scopus,
EMBASE, Cochrane and AMED.
Searches of the major international databases such as MEDLINE,
EMBASE, and PsycINFO can be conducted using their built-in search systems or by using authorized third-party platforms such as OVID and Web of Knowledge.
They searched MEDLINE,
EMBASE and Cochrane Library from inception to 2014 without any language restrictions.
National Guideline Clearinghouse, the Canadian Medical Association Infobase, the Guidelines International Network, the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network, the China Biology Medicine disc, PubMed, and
Embase. Two independent reviewers assessed the eligible guidelines using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation II (AGREE II) instrument.
New databases deliver highly anticipated content, including premier biomedical databases BIOSIS[R], MEDLINE[R] and
Embase, complementary life science databases CABA and FSTA, and full-text databases that expand global patent portfolio coverage beyond what is available on the classic STN platform.
Seventy two of these Iranian Journals he said are covered by PubMed seventy eight by
EMBASE and seventy eight by SCOPUS.
The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, and
EMBASE databases were searched from January 1, 1966 - May 24, 2013 for potentially eligible studies, reference lists were checked, and trial investigators were contacted where additional data was required.
