Links Pull-down Menu Help

The Links pull-down menu has been created to support new ways of using the ever growing number of links between records in the Entrez databases. All links, except for Related Articles, will be included in the new pull-down menu which is available on the first 50 records per page.

In addition to putting the links you are familiar with in this pull-down, we will be adding new links:

Cited in Books - this PubMed record is cited in the bibliography of an online Book. Clicking this link will take you to the section(s) of the book where it was cited.

Cited in PMC - this PubMed record is cited by a full text article in PubMed Central. The link takes you to the article(s) in PMC where it is cited.

The full list of links in Entrez is available.
