Best databases for Nutrition research

PubMed
PubMed is the free Web version of the MEDLINE database. PubMed provides slightly more current and more comprehensive coverage than MEDLINE.

PubMed provides access to bibliographic information from more than 5,200 journals in the life sciences with a concentration on biomedicine.

PubMed is a service of the U.S. National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health, and provides access to over 14 million citations and abstracts in the fields of medicine, nursing, dentistry, veterinary medicine, the health care system, and preclinical sciences.

Coverage: 1950-present
Google Scholar

More useful databases

ScienceDirect
The Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics is full text in this database. Science Direct includes several good journals, but most of the top journals (see attached Journals page) are not there.

Web of Science also offers a true cited reference index, which allow you to trace particular research forward in time or backward in time to see how works grow and develop in a focused area of research.

Focus on sports and exercise science

The comprehensive international content of the database is drawn from websites, journal articles, books, book chapters, dissertations, conference proceedings, etc.

Cochrane Collection Plus
Not too useful for Nutrition, but worth a mention. The Cochrane Library provides systematic reviews of the effects of healthcare interventions. This set of databases also includes CENTRAL, a collection of trials.

Cochrane Collection Plus combines the NHS Economic Evaluation Database (NHS EED) and Health Technology Assessments (HTA) with the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (CDSR), Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects (DARE), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and Cochrane Methodology Register.

Cochrane Collection Plus is a source of health care data for both providers, patients and those responsible for researching, teaching, funding and administrating at all levels of the medical profession.
