MEDLINE citation as indicated by the [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] status tag

MEDLINE

  • MEDLINE is NLM's premier bibliographic database covering the fields of medicine, nursing, dentistry, veterinary medicine, the health care system, the preclinical sciences, and some other areas of the life sciences.

  • MEDLINE contains bibliographic citations and author abstracts from over 5,000 journals published in the United States and in 80 foreign countries. MEDLINE has approximately 16 million records from 1949 to the present.

  • Coverage is worldwide but most records are from English language sources or have English language abstracts.

  • MEDLINE contains citations, not full-text articles (PubMed provides links to some full-text).

  • Each MEDLINE record is identified with a PMID and the status tag [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE].

  • MEDLINE records are generally added Tuesday through Saturday.
