4. Summon vs. PubMed
Summon uses the keywords in a search as it does not have a controlled vocabulary. The results are broader and you have to ‘filter’ them. The search results include links to the full-text journal articles and e-books that is available in your country.
PubMed uses a controlled vocabulary – a human assigns medical subject headings (MeSH) to each journal article. Search results will be accurate.
