New Features in CINAHL-FullText


Cinahl stands for The Cumulative Index to Nursing & Allied Health Literature. It indexes professional journals in nursing and allied health fields. Consulting the literature is a great way to make an informed decision in your practice.
You’ll find a link for CINAHL on the bottom of the Affinity Library Services Home page (Affinity Access Only).

We are pleased to announce the recent release of several new features, added to our CINAHL subscription.

New Limiters
There are two “Written by a Nurse” limiters:
* First Author is a Nurse
* Any Author is a Nurse
* More details on them can be found here.

Pre-CINAHL limiter searches just pre-CINAHL. More details can be found here.
Human limiter applies to all records which represent research studies on humans. More details can be found here.

Data Elements Added
* Digital Object Identifier (DOI): We have added the DOI from 2009 forward.
* Pubmed Central ID (PMCID): We have added the PMCID from 2009 forward.
