12/7/2006 Here I searched for … Ilex paraguariensis OR mate tea OR yerba mate …in Embase and in PubMed. In Embase I got 72 hits (after limiting my search to just EmBase; by default, Embase.com searches PubMed and Embase), all years. In PubMed – 103 hits. I imported both sets of records into RefWorks, changing some of the settings so that the database field showed, and exported as a Bibliography. Those references that are indented below, were in both databases; those that are extending out to the left were only in Embase or PubMed!
