Policy Change for Multiple Translations of the Same Journal Article

Policy Change for Multiple Translations of the Same Journal Article. NLM Tech Bull. 2018 May-Jun;(422):b4.

2018 May 21 [posted]

As of June 2018, only the English version of multi-language articles will appear in PubMed/MEDLINE and be indexed for MEDLINE.

In the past, when journals published multiple translations of an article in the same issue, the English version was indexed for MEDLINE and citations for any non-English versions were included in PubMed as PubMed-not-MEDLINE (where Medical Subject Headings are not added). In many cases, users will still have access to the non-English versions of these articles when they access the full text on the publisher's Web site.
