Hello,
I have a question, probably extremely stupid but I have to know for sure.
I need to know if the process described above is possible and feasible to do.
Imagine the I have a CSV file, which contains PubMed Advanced Search information: Paper title, Unique code (PMIDS), Author, year.
However, I do not know what ADVANCED SEARCH TERMS were used to obtain this search.
My question is: is it possible to somehow do it the other way around --> Pubmed there you go here is my CSV file and now you tell me which terms would I have needed to use to have found papers included in MY CSV file.
It sounds even more ridiculous when I type it, but I will give it it try.
Thank you!!
R package called "litsearchr" is used to identify search terms. But this might not be feasible for those who are not familiar with R.

Think about any workarounds such as searching PubMed's search history and your web browser history. I suspect you have already ruled out these options, but sometimes it's easy to forget about simple solutions.
My problem is that I have data retracted from 2014-2018 from pubmed, I have a CSV file but I do not have the search strategy that was used to retrieve these papers. Now I want to repeat the search between 2018-2021 and thats why I am trying this approach. Thank you!
