MeSH stands for Medical Subject Headings. MeSH is the National Library of Medicine's controlled vocabulary thesaurus, used for indexing articles for the MEDLINE®/PubMED® database. Each article citation is associated with a set of MeSH terms that describe the content of the article.
MeSH is the language National Library of Medicine indexers use to create tags for citations in MEDLINE and/or PubMed. If you can find the official entry terms instead of using keyword searching, you can focus your search and find better citations.
MeSH terms are especially helpful when searching in health sciences databases like PubMed, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library. Use the Advanced Search features in these databases to search with MeSH terms and efficiently find all the available literature on a subject.
