A quick guide is shown on the top page, and a detailed guide can be accessed by clicking on "How to use". You can create a list by clicking on Add to Cart button at each abstract, where abstracts will be sorted by date and time. You can also print the list with or without the abstract body from your Printing Cart. You can restore your "Printing Cart" by saving the ID which is displayed on the top right corner. Related Abstracts will not always contain the keywords you have entered. We call these abstracts "hidden treasure", since you won't be able to find them only by the provided keywords.
