[Editor's note: The enhancements were implemented in PubMed on October 13, 2016.]

The PubMed homepage will soon be updated with new opportunities to browse content of recent interest. The page will include the new feature, Latest Literature, and two existing features, Trending Articles and PubMed Commons (see Figure 1).

The Latest Literature feature highlights new articles from highly accessed journals and links to our new feature PubMed Journals (see Find, Browse and Follow Biomedical Literature with PubMed Journals for more information).

Trending articles are those with a significant increase in daily views in the past two days as compared to the previous baseline period. PubMed Commons are the current top comments determined by multiple factors based on members’ ratings of comment helpfulness.
