Re: Lexis/Nexis UNIVerse
Jian, I believe you are simply picking up the same article because the terms ARE in the headline field. If you find an article with use of a term or name in the text after the lead paragraphy, you will not pick up that article (in our experience) by entering the term in the "Additional Terms" field.
