2006 MeSH® Now Available
October 27, 2005 [posted]
The MeSH Browser now has an optional link to 2006 MeSH. 2006 MeSH is also available for download in XML and ASCII formats. Also available for 2006 from the same MeSH download page are: Pharmacologic Actions, New Headings with Scope Notes, MeSH Replaced Headings, and MeSH MN (tree number) Changes. 2006 MeSH in MARC format is expected later in 2005.
The default year in the MeSH Browser remains 2005 MeSH for now, but the alternate link provides access to 2006 MeSH. The MeSH Section will continue to provide access via the MeSH Browser for two years of the vocabulary: the current year and an alternate year. Sometime in November or December, the default year will change to 2006 MeSH and the alternate link will provide access to the 2005 MeSH.
