Citation Chaser

Citation Chaser can be used to easily identify articles that are citing or are being cited by specific articles you have identified as being relevant to your research topic.

PubMed PubReMiner

The PubMed PubReMiner can be used to identify the most used subject headings for your exemplar articles, to help you identify relevant MeSH terms for your search strategy.

Yale MeSH Analyzer

A MeSH analysis grid can help identify the problems in your search strategy by presenting the ways articles are indexed in the MEDLINE database in an easy-to-scan tabular format. Librarians can then easily scan the grid and identify appropriate MesH terms, term variants, indexing consistency, and the reasons why some articles are retrieved and others are not. This inevitably leads to fresh iterations of the search strategy to include missing important terms.

MeSH On Demand

This simple tool from the NLM will automatically identify potential MeSH terms for a given text, such as a title, abstract, or research question.

Medsyntax 

Medsyntax is a free, open-source tool for visualizing and editing literature searches. It transforms search terms into HTML elements to visualize the search strategy effectively, provides an inline scope-driven editor and offers real-time error detection. 

Polyglot Search

Polyglot is a tool that will automatically translate your search from PubMed to other major databases such as Scopus and CINAHL. Note that Polyglot can only translate search syntax, so you will still need to manually translate your controlled vocabulary terms.

Systematic Review Accelator

The Systematic Review Accelerator is a collection of tools to help automate and streamline the SR process.

The Systematic Review Toolbox

The Systematic Review Toolbox is an online catalogue of tools that support various tasks within the systematic review and wider evidence synthesis process. You can use the toolbox to search for help with a specific task, or browse tools by what stage of the systematic review you are working on.
