What's in PubMed?

  • Over 22 million records representing articles in the biomedical literature and a small selection of items from the NCBI Books database.
  • Most PubMed records are MEDLINE citations. 
  • Other records include those in different stages of processing (including records provided directly from the journal publisher) but destined to be MEDLINE citations.
  • A relatively small number of records that are included in PubMed but not selected for MEDLINE.
