Do you routinely search PubMed but feel frustrated by your results? Would you like to be more precise in finding articles by a specific author or by a grant number or by a substance name?
Then you need to know how to search by field tags. Search Field tags are 2-4 letter codes that search specific items within PubMed. For example, if you want to find articles by James D. Watson (co-discoverer of DNA) in PubMed, simply type the author name with the appropriate field tag in the search box:
watson jd [au]
