DCConsult Overview
Terms of Service- When performing an author search you may add multiple authors by separating each name with a semi-colon ";".
- [MANTIS ONLY] Use wildcards (an asterisk) to search within a specific publication if you are not certain of the journal's full title (e.g. "*spine*"). If a wildcard is not used, the engine will search for a journal with the exact title as entered.
- Use wildcards (an asterisk) to search for multiple terms with the same spelling (e.g. "manip*" will include any Medical Subject Heading or text word that begins with the letters "manip"; so the search will include "manipulation, chiropractic" and "manipulation, orthopedic" among others).
