Key resources for a research literature search are the bibliographic databases that can be searched electronically. For nurses, the CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature) and MEDLINE® (Medical Literature On-Line) databases are especially useful. Other useful bibliographic databases for nurses include the Web of Knowledge, and EMBASE (the Excerpta Medica database). The Web of Knowledge database is useful for a descendancy search strategy because of its strong citation indexes. Of these, only CINAHL is focused on nursing and allied health literature.
