Abstract

This fourth article of the series “Update in the search for scientific information” is focused on the CUIDEN® database, managed by the Index Foundation, and considered one of the essential information tools in order to be updated about the scientific developments within the Ibero-American area in terms of healthcare and clinical practice in all its specialties. This database has a free access option under the Registered User mode, CUIDEN®, and another option of access by subscription, CUIDEN® Plus. The objective of this article is to describe the main characteristics and features of this tool, through its different search options: simple, advanced, and by key words. Besides, the differences between the free and the subscription versions are highlighted, so that the user can take into account their specific limitations and advantages at the time of initiating a search for information.
