Frequently Asked Questions

Content Accuracy

FAQs about content accuracy:

Question: How accurate is the literature information provided by the Pubmed plugin?

Answer: The Pubmed plugin fetches information directly from the PubMed database, so basic literary information (such as title, author, publication date, abstract, etc.) is usually very accurate. The literature included in PubMed has undergone strict screening and indexing, including articles from peer-reviewed journals. The plugin provides publication status and source information whenever possible. However, users are advised to double-check key information before making important decisions.

Question: How to judge the quality and reliability of medical literature?

Answer: Consider the following factors when evaluating medical literature:

Study design (e.g., randomized controlled trial, cohort study, etc.)
Sample size and statistical methods
Clinical significance of the results
Number of citations and journal impact factor
Authoritative nature of the research institution The plugin will provide as much of this information as possible, but the final judgment should be made by users in conjunction with professional expertise.

Usage Limitations

FAQs about usage limitations:

Question: Can the Pubmed plugin access full articles?

Answer: The Pubmed plugin can access abstracts and metadata from the PubMed database. Full-text access depends on whether a paper is open access. If a paper is open access, the plugin provides a direct link; if it is paywalled, the plugin provides a DOI or PubMed ID, and you can obtain the full text via institutional subscription or payment.

Question: Which medical fields does the plugin support?

Answer: The Pubmed plugin supports all medical literature in the PubMed database, mainly including:

All clinical specialties
Basic medical research
Pharmacology and drug therapy
Epidemiology and public health
Medical imaging
Medical genetics
Medical education
Nursing
Rehabilitation medicine Coverage depth may vary by field, but clinical and basic medicine are the most comprehensive.

Technical Issues

FAQs about technical issues:

Question: Why are some search results not relevant?

Answer: The relevance of search results can be affected by:

Query terms are not professional or standardized enough
The terms used are inconsistent with MeSH standards
The topic is very new, with limited related literature
The query covers multiple concepts, making it hard to meet all conditions simultaneously Suggested improvements: use MeSH terms, narrow the query scope, try synonyms or related concepts, or break the query into more specific steps.

Question: How to resolve slow or unresponsive plugin behavior?

Answer: If the Pubmed plugin is slow or unresponsive, try:

Simplifying the query and avoiding overly complex or ambiguous questions
Ensuring a stable network connection
Refreshing the page and reactivating the plugin
If the issue persists, contact customer support
