The Full-Text Limit

Captions available

The idea

Limiting a search to full text narrows it to what is electronically available to you, not to what exists.

In practice

A search restricted to full text, missing a relevant study held elsewhere.

Where people slip

This limit is the most tempting and the most distorting: it filters by your access rather than by the evidence.

Your place on the trail

Every lesson rests on earlier ones and opens later ones. Tap any to jump.
