To limit or not to limit?

The most efficient

way to search is

usually to begin by

limiting to Full-Text

articles only. That way

you know you will

have access to all the

articles you find.

If you do not find

enough articles,

broaden your search

by removing the limit

to full-text, and/or by

changing your search

terms to something less

specific.
