PubMed Status

PubMed Status. NLM Technical Bulletin. 2001 Jan–Feb;(318):e1.

January 18, 2001 [posted]

Effective Tuesday, January 16, 2001, the National Center for Biotechnology and Information (NCBI) temporarily stopped the daily updating of PubMed with new publisher-supplied and in-process citations as they work on making the necessary changes to reload MEDLINE data following 2000-to-2001 year-end maintenance. We expect this interruption to last until about January 26, 2001, if all goes well, or later, if we encounter problems. An article describing PubMed changes happening as part of this reload will soon be available in the NLM Technical Bulletin. We predict that the system will be replaced and publicly searchable before the end of January. Then daily updates with publisher-supplied and in-process citations will resume. Also, the newly indexed MEDLINE citations from the beginning of the 2001 indexing year will be added and weekly updates for these indexed citations will resume according to the published update schedule. For searches limited to MeSH headings, users will then start retrieving newly indexed citations whether using the PubMed query box or the current awareness Cubby feature.
