Search Strategy Used to Create the
Space Life Sciences Subset on PubMed

Return to PubMed

This strategy was developed by NLM and the NASA SPACELINE Office and is intended to retrieve citations of interest to those working in the field of space life sciences research. This subset can also be used in a search as space [sb].
Example: exercise AND space [sb]
