MY SEARCH STRATEGY

1-I phrased my title as a question : Does DNA vaccination induce immunity against toxoplasmosis in murine model
2-I broke it into concepts(pico):
P:Mice
I:DNA vaccine encoding SAG1 antigen
C:The same plasmid without the SAG codon
O:Immunity against toxoplasmosis
3-I searched DNA vaccination and it's synonym DNA immunization with OR program and combined it with toxoplasmosis with AND program.
4-Finally I refined my search results by limiting them by year,publication type(systematic reviews)and language(english)
5-I also used MESH headings while I connected to the internet via ENDNOTE program

END NOTE

End note is a software that provides us some facilities in the process of writing a paper.
1- It creates a reference library(jabe fish) for us to put the references or records(fishe kham) inside(an individual information bank).
2-It creates a new reference ,in order to write the title author year journal name and abstracts of papers on them.
3-It provides us a pen to write with.(to write new records or also edit previous records)
4-It provides us a BROWSER to brows the internet pages for paper abstracts.
5-It provides us a search engine for searcging the internet pages for abstracts.
6-It helps us to retrive abstracts in great amounts and to copy them in our individual information bank(reference library).
7-It provides us a software whith which we can manage our info bank(library).It means we can "sort" abstracts in some different ways for exp date ,author,....(number of sorting depend on the number of subject types that we filled out in reference page)and search by that sorting."search" inside library and "group" the records.
8- It is a help editor that helps the main editor(MS WORD) and facilitates reference writing in the process of of writing a paper.
