QUALITY_0003 — journal-filter-in-subquery

Error Code: QUALITY_0003

Message: Journal (or publication name) filter in subquery

Problematic query:

"activity"[Title/Abstract] OR ("cancer"[Title/Abstract] AND "Lancet"[Journal])

Recommended query:

("activity"[Title/Abstract] OR "cancer"[Title/Abstract]) AND "Lancet"[Journal]

Typical fix: Apply journal (publication name) filters at the top level of the query instead of inside subqueries to ensure the filter applies to the entire result set.
