How to combine searches using search history

You can combine search terms using Boolean operators on the initial search screen, or you can add individual terms in the search box and combine later by clicking on the search history link.

Please note that you will need to click on this link, situated under the search boxes, after you have run your individual searches, as search history data does not now appear automatically:

Once you have clicked on the link, you can then combine your searches with the Boolean operators ‘and’ and ‘or’:

Your combined search is then added to the search box. Click on the magnifying glass to run your combined search.

How to refine your searches

You can refine your search by applying filters, such as publication date; online full-text; peer-reviewed.
