How do I run a similarity search?

When clicking the 'Similar Records' feature on the Search Results page, Embase will: 

• Combine the major focus terms from your record, i.e. 'term 1'/mj AND 'term 2'/mj OR ('term 1'/mj AND 'term 3'/mj) OR ('term 1'/mj AND 'term 4'/mj) OR ('term 2'/mj AND 'term 3'/mj) OR ('term 2'/mj AND 'term 4'/mj) ... OR ('term n-1'/mj AND 'term n'/mj) NOT L123456789.
• Find the 100 records most similar to your record.
• Present the records ranked on relevance.
