Special Notes

A search in the field "Document Type (DT)" runs both via the Document Type of the document as well as that of the associated references.

The database is searchable both with DIMDI SmartSearch and DIMDI ClassicSearch.

No authors are indicated for the full texts. However, the authors of the references are searchable (RA= Referenced Author).

Individual full texts are published identically (partly with modified title) in the different journals (identifiable by the same NDAN numbers). Possibly found duplicates can be eliminated to a large extent before the output of the target information with the command "ch dup" to avoid unnecessary costs.

The use of presently 30 qualifiers in connection with the Controlled Terms (CT), (e.g. clobetasol/therapeutic use) is possible. By their use the context can be described in detail.

Standing orders (SDI) are possible for Premium customers.
