A search engine for scientific information
Scirus is a specialized search engine that may be directed only to search peer reviewed medical, scientific or legal information.
For example, if we do a Google search on "multiple sclerosis" we get about 9 million results. These results contains real information as well as snake oil and anecdotal unproven "cures". On the other hand, if we limited our search to peer reviewed medical information with Scirus, we would have only about 700,000 results.
Go to Scirus and
and click Advanced Search.
This takes you to the Advanced Search Options. Scroll down to the Subject Areas and click the List more subject areas button, which we have already done below.
Since we want to only search on medical information check the Medicine, Neuroscience and Pharmacology boxes and click the Search button. Then enter your search argument, here we are searching on "multiple sclerosis" and click the Search button.
Where we get our 713,871 peer reviewed journal articles. To view any just click on the article.
Now go back an look at the other Scirus Advanced Search options. The search can also be limited to particular journals, web sources or information types or formats.
Use Scirus instead of Google when you are searching for medical, legal or technical information and want to eliminate the Internet junk.
