Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 3 EBP 0342 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Subject Headings
Captions available
The idea
Subject headings are the specific words a database assigns to describe what an article is about, and searching them finds material on a topic regardless of the words the authors used.
In practice
One heading returning studies that phrased the same idea four different ways.
Where people slip
Headings are database-specific. The set used by one database is not the set used by another.
