More about PubMed

 

 

The world's biggest online source of medical articles
 
   

PubMed, available via the NCBI Entrez retrieval system, was developed by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) at the National Library of Medicine (NLM), located at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland, USA.  Entrez is the text-based search and retrieval system used at NCBI for services including PubMed, Nucleotide and Protein Sequences, Protein Structures, Complete Genomes, Taxonomy, OMIM, and many others.  PubMed was designed to provide access to citations from biomedical literature. LinkOut provides access to full-text articles at journal Web sites and other related Web resources. PubMed also provides access and links to the other Entrez molecular biology resources.

Publishers participating in PubMed electronically submit their citations to NCBI prior to or at the time of publication. If the publisher has a web site that offers full-text of its journals, PubMed provides links to that site as well as biological resources, consumer health information, research tools, and more. There may be a charge to access the text or information.

In addition, PubMed provides a Batch Citation Matcher, which allows users to match their citations to PubMed citations using bibliographic information such as journal, volume, issue, page number, and year.

 

PubMed Coverage

PubMed provides access to bibliographic information that includes Medline, OldMedline, as well as:

 The out-of-scope citations (e.g., articles on plate tectonics or astrophysics) from certain Medline journals, primarily general science and chemistry journals, for which the life sciences articles are indexed for Medline.

 Citations that precede the date that a journal was selected for Medline indexing.

 Some additional life science journals that submit full text to PubMedCentral and receive a qualitative review by NLM.
