PubMed and beyond: biomedical literature search in the age of artificial intelligence.

ABSTRACT: Biomedical research yields vast information, much of which is only accessible through the literature. Consequently, literature search is crucial for healthcare and biomedicine. Recent improvements in artificial intelligence (AI) have expanded functionality beyond keywords, but they might be unfamiliar to clinicians and researchers. In response, we present an overview of over 30 literature search tools tailored to common biomedical use cases, aiming at helping readers efficiently fulfill their information needs.
