How to find the date coverage of databases

According to the PRISMA guidelines, you should report the date coverage of the databases which you used for your search. But where can you find them?

PubMed:

Available on the Fact Sheet: Medline

Ovid databases:
Date coverage is displayed after the name of the database in the Search area.
This is located just above the place where you type in your search terms.

If you click on the Change link above the database name, you can see date coverage information for all of the databases available in your subscription.


EBSCO databases:
If you click on Choose databases, next to each database is a little yellow quote bubble. If you mouseover the quote bubble, there is information about the database, and sometimes it includes the date coverage, but not always.

CINAHL and PsycInfo display date coverage information; Medline and ERIC do not.

Next place to check?

Google the name of the vendor and database and look for an informational page.

For instance, I googled: ebsco medline with full text

The first result was an EBSCO website with information about the database, including a statement about date coverage.

Proquest databases: click on the Databases link at the top of the page (to the right of Basic Search and Advanced search). Most databases listed have a date range after the title of the database.
