Publication Types - Genre Terms
All Publication Types are listed here, indicating those generally
used for indexing of current articles and those used for
cataloging. The year in parenthesis is the date of introduction
of the term, in either its present or a directly equivalent
earlier form. Most of the Publication Types introduced in 1991
were added to retrospective MEDLINE citations as well. For
additional information, see Cataloging Practices. Because of
input from organizations that cooperate with NLM in database
building, some citations may contain publication type values not
included in the lists below, such as LAW (PT) in formerly in
BIOETHICSLINE and AIDSLINE.
