Subject Queries
The following are queries to help you find information indexed in Bookshelf on a variety of subjects.
The information is from content sources collected by the National Library of Medicine and in scope for Bookshelf. including clinical guidelines, systematic reviews, monographs, textbooks, and other content types deposited by publishers, funders, and funded authors. These queries may be refined by combining them with Bookshelf format queries relevant to your search.
These Bookshelf subject queries were developed because simply querying by a subject or keyword in the Bookshelf search does not always provide the most relevant results. This is because the Bookshelf default relevance search algorithm translates such queries across all indexed fields and counts the number of times that term appears in the full-text content, and then measures relevance by the highest count of references of that term. To provide more relevant results by subject, our research shows that it is best to restrict subject queries to title, abstract, available MeSH terms provided by NLM cataloguers, and available keywords provided by authors and publishers.

What Toxicology content is collected by NLM?
According to the American College of Medical Toxicologists, medical toxicology is a field of medicine dedicated to the evaluation and treatment of poisoned patients. Some of the problems they evaluate include unintentional and intentional overdoses, exposure to industrial chemical products and environmental hazards, substance use disorder management, diagnosis and management of certain exposures, and independent medical examinations to assess injury or disability resulting from toxic exposures. Please see the NLM guidelines for toxicology for additional information on the scope of collecting toxicology content within the National Library of Medicine.
How can I find Toxicology content in Bookshelf?
Using Advanced Search
To start exploring Toxicology resources within NCBI Bookshelf, go to the advanced search feature.
Step 1: Change the Builder drop down menu to “Resource Type”
Step 2: Click “Show index list”
Step 3: Select “toxicology resource” from the list
You end up with the following query: “toxicology resources”[Resource Type]
Note: You can build a more specific search by contributing relevant keywords surrounding your topic within the second search field
Using Browse Titles
You can browse titles in Bookshelf from specific publishers. On the Bookshelf homepage, under the search bar, click “Browse Titles”. Then, select a publisher from the “Publishers” box on the left-hand side of the screen. Or enter some search terms and then limit your results to a specific publisher. Note that you can also narrow down your search by resource types within the “Types” box on the left-hand side of the screen. Learn more about browsing in the Bookshelf Help guide.
What types of Toxicology content does Bookshelf collect?
Bookshelf includes full-text toxicology reports, assessments, and technical reports. On the left sidebar in Bookshelf, you can filter results by the following types of content.
Report - Technical reports detail the progress or results of scientific, technical, or policy research and are usually published in response to a narrowly defined research need. Reports in Bookshelf also include systematic reviews and clinical practice guidelines.
Systematic reviews are characterized by a methodical and replicable methodology and presentation. They involve a comprehensive search to locate all relevant published and unpublished work on a subject; a systematic integration of search results; and a critique of the extent, nature, and quality of evidence in relation to a particular research question.
Clinical practice guidelines are systematically developed statements to assist practitioner and patient decisions about appropriate health care for specific clinical circ*mstances.
Book – Publications that are complete in one volume or a limited number of volumes. In Bookshelf this includes multi-chapter monographs, contributed reference books, and contributed funded chapters.

What are Clinical Guidelines and Systematic Reviews?
Clinical guidelines assist the health care practitioner with patient care decisions about appropriate diagnostic, therapeutic, or other clinical procedures for specific clinical circ*mstances. Trustworthy clinical guidelines are evidence-based and meet the standards of the Institute of Medicine. The evidence on which guidance is based is often published as one or more related systematic review.
Systematic reviews are reviews of the primary literature in health and health policy that attempts to identify, appraise, and synthesize all the empirical evidence that meets specified eligibility criteria to answer a given research question. Its conduct uses explicit methods aimed at minimizing bias to produce more reliable findings regarding the effects of interventions for prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation that can be used to inform decision making.
