What do square brackets around a citation mean?
I saw a citation in a database [The use of milrinone in a patient with mitral regurgitation and severe pulmonary hypertension: a case report]. Can you get it for me?
Answer
Square brackets around a citation mean the article is written in a language other than English. Databases often provide translated titles and abstracts in English, but the article itself will be provided in the original language, without translation. Please be sure that you have a working knowledge of the language before requesting an article from a non-English publication.
