The 2010 PubMed system will be available in mid-December. Links to other articles pertinent to the new system are provided to the right.

There are just a few year-end changes to PubMed this year:

  • The two new Publication Types, Webcasts, and Research Support, American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, will be added to the "Type of Article" menu on the Advanced Search screen.
  • The heading, Young Adult, new to MeSH for 2009 indexing, will be added to the "Ages" menu on the Advanced Search screen as Young Adult: 19-24 years.
  • Linking ISSN numbers will appear on the MEDLINE format in the ISSN field (IS) with the qualifier, "Linking" as in this example:
         IS - 1098-4275 (Linking)
  • Users of XML data may want to see additional information including "XML Changes for the NLM 2010 Production Year:"

Future Plans

In early 2010 the Advanced Search feature of PubMed will be re-worked to improve search capabilities. More information will be provided at a later date.
