Personal Name as Subject Suffix Data in PubMed Update

Personal Name as Subject Suffix Data in PubMed Update. NLM Technical Bulletin. 2001 Jul–Aug;(321):e1.

July 27, 2001 [posted]

NLM previously announced that Author and Personal Name as Subject name suffixes (Jr, 2nd, 3rd, etc.) were missing from many MEDLINE records. NLM has since recovered all the lost data. In March, over 200,000 records with corrected author names were replaced in PubMed and distributed to MEDLINE licensees (Technical Notes. NLM Tech Bull. 2001 Mar-Apr;(319):e1.) and on June 1, 2001 over 700 records with corrected Personal Names as Subject were replaced in PubMed and distributed to licensees.
