Introduction

Single Citation Matcher offers an easy way to locate a citation even when you lack complete bibliographic information (e.g. author, title, year). To locate your specific citation, the Single Citation Matcher allows you to enter into a search for any or all of the following bibliographic elements: journal title, date, volume, issue, page, author.

Step-By-Step

  1. Visit the PubMed Single Citation Matcher tool.
  2. Enter as much bibliographic information as you have for the citation into the form. For example, enter the journal name, volume number, and author’s name, then click Go.

  3. Single Citation Matcher will return a list of citations matching the criteria you entered.
