Allied and Complementary Medicine™ Database Now with Interactive Thesaurus

The Allied and Complementary Medicine database (AMED) on Dialog DataStar now has thesaurus terms available in a new companion database of controlled vocabulary (AVOC). The new database is fully searchable and contains details about the subject terms assigned to records in the AMED database. In addition, Thesaurus mapping has been enabled for searching Allied and Complementary Medicine on DataStarWeb (for more information about Thesaurus mapping, see From the Experts...). Other databases currently offering an online thesaurus and Thesaurus mapping include MEDLINE® (MEDL/MVOC), EMBASE® (EMED/EVOC), British Nursing Index (BNID/BVOC) and PsycINFO® (PSYC/YVOC).
