අන්තර්ගතය
MEDLINE වලට අමතරව, පබ්මෙඩ් පහත දෑ සඳහා ප්රවේශ ලබා දෙයි:
- older references from the print version of , back to 1951 and earlier
- references to some journals before they were indexed in Index Medicus and MEDLINE, for instance , , and
- very recent entries to records for an article before it is indexed with (MeSH) and added to MEDLINE
- a collection of books available full-text and other subsets of NLM records
- PMC citations
Many PubMed records contain links to full text articles, some of which are freely available, often in PubMed Central and local mirrors, such as .
Information about the journals indexed in MEDLINE, and available through PubMed, is found in the NLM Catalog.
27 ජනවාරි 2020 වන විට[update], PubMed has more than 30 million citations and abstracts dating back to 1966, selectively to the year 1865, and very selectively to 1809. As of the same date[update], 20 million of PubMed's records are listed with their abstracts, and 21.5 million records have links to full-text versions (of which 7.5 million articles are available, full-text for free). Over the last 10 years (ending 31 December 2019), an average of nearly 1 million new records were added each year. Approximately 12% of the records in PubMed correspond to cancer-related entries, which have grown from 6% in the 1950s to 16% in 2016. Other significant proportion of records correspond to "chemistry" (8.69%), "therapy" (8.39%), and "infection" (5%).[]
In 2016, NLM changed the indexing system so that publishers are able to directly correct typos and errors in PubMed indexed articles.
PubMed has been reported to include some articles published in predatory journals. MEDLINE and PubMed policies for the selection of journals for database inclusion are slightly different. Weaknesses in the criteria and procedures for indexing journals in PubMed Central may allow publications from predatory journals to leak into PubMed.
ලක්ෂණ
Website design
A new PubMed interface was launched in October 2009 and encouraged the use of such quick, Google-like search formulations; they have also been described as 'telegram' searches. By default the results are sorted by Most Recent, but this can be changed to Best Match, Publication Date, First Author, Last Author, Journal, or Title.
The PubMed website design and domain was updated in January 2020 and became default on 15 May 2020, with the updated and new features. There was a critical reaction from many researchers who frequently use the site.
PubMed for handhelds/mobiles
PubMed/MEDLINE can be accessed via handheld devices, using for instance the option (for focused clinical questions) created by the NLM. A "PubMed Mobile" option, providing access to a mobile friendly, simplified PubMed version, is also available.
Search
Standard search
Simple searches on PubMed can be carried out by entering key aspects of a subject into PubMed's search window.
PubMed translates this initial search formulation and automatically adds field names, relevant MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) terms, synonyms, Boolean operators, and 'nests' the resulting terms appropriately, enhancing the search formulation significantly, in particular by routinely combining (using the OR operator) textwords and MeSH terms.
The examples given in a PubMed tutorial demonstrate how this automatic process works:
Causes Sleep Walking is translated as ("etiology"[Subheading] OR "etiology"[All Fields] OR "causes"[All Fields] OR "causality"[MeSH Terms] OR "causality"[All Fields]) AND ("somnambulism"[MeSH Terms] OR "somnambulism"[All Fields] OR ("sleep"[All Fields] AND "walking"[All Fields]) OR "sleep walking"[All Fields])
Likewise,
soft Attack Aspirin Prevention is translated as ("myocardial infarction"[MeSH Terms] OR ("myocardial"[All Fields] AND "infarction"[All Fields]) OR "myocardial infarction"[All Fields] OR ("heart"[All Fields] AND "attack"[All Fields]) OR "heart attack"[All Fields]) AND ("aspirin"[MeSH Terms] OR "aspirin"[All Fields]) AND ("prevention and control"[Subheading] OR ("prevention"[All Fields] AND "control"[All Fields]) OR "prevention and control"[All Fields] OR "prevention"[All Fields])
Comprehensive search
For optimal searches in PubMed, it is necessary to understand its core component, MEDLINE, and especially of the MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) controlled vocabulary used to index MEDLINE articles. They may also require complex search strategies, use of field names (tags), proper use of limits and other features; reference librarians and search specialists offer search services.
The search into PubMed's search window is only recommended for the search of unequivocal topics or new interventions that do not yet have a MeSH heading created, as well as for the search for commercial brands of medicines and proper nouns. It is also useful when there is no suitable heading or the descriptor represents a partial aspect. The search using the thesaurus MeSH is more accurate and will give fewer irrelevant results. In addition, it saves the disadvantage of the free text search in which the spelling, singular/plural or abbreviated differences have to be taken into consideration. On the other side, articles more recently incorporated into the database to which descriptors have not yet been assigned will not be found. Therefore, to guarantee an exhaustive search, a combination of controlled language headings and free text terms must be used.
Journal article parameters
When a journal article is indexed, numerous article parameters are extracted and stored as structured information. Such parameters are: Article Type (MeSH terms, e.g., "Clinical Trial"), Secondary identifiers, (MeSH terms), Language, Country of the Journal or publication history (e-publication date, print journal publication date).
Publication Type: Clinical queries/systematic reviews
Publication type parameter allows searching by the , including reports of various kinds of clinical research.
Secondary ID
Since July 2005, the MEDLINE article indexing process extracts identifiers from the article abstract and puts those in a field called Secondary Identifier (SI). The secondary identifier field is to store accession numbers to various databases of molecular sequence data, gene expression or chemical compounds and clinical trial IDs. For clinical trials, PubMed extracts trial IDs for the two largest trial registries: ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT identifier) and the International Standard Randomized Controlled Trial Number Register (IRCTN identifier).
See also
A reference which is judged particularly relevant can be marked and "related articles" can be identified. If relevant, several studies can be selected and related articles to all of them can be generated (on PubMed or any of the other NCBI Entrez databases) using the 'Find related data' option. The related articles are then listed in order of "relatedness". To create these lists of related articles, PubMed compares words from the title and abstract of each citation, as well as the MeSH headings assigned, using a powerful word-weighted algorithm. The 'related articles' function has been judged to be so precise that the authors of a paper suggested it can be used instead of a full search.
Mapping to MeSH
PubMed automatically links to MeSH terms and subheadings. Examples would be: "bad breath" links to (and includes in the search) "halitosis", "heart attack" to "myocardial infarction", "breast cancer" to "breast neoplasms". Where appropriate, these MeSH terms are automatically "expanded", that is, include more specific terms. Terms like "nursing" are automatically linked to "Nursing [MeSH]" or "Nursing [Subheading]". This feature is called Auto Term Mapping and is enacted, by default, in free text searching but not exact phrase searching (i.e. enclosing the search query with double quotes). This feature makes PubMed searches more sensitive and avoids false-negative (missed) hits by compensating for the diversity of medical terminology.
PubMed does not apply automatic mapping of the term in the following circumstances: by writing the quoted phrase (e.g., "kidney allograft"), when truncated on the asterisk (e.g., kidney allograft*), and when looking with field labels (e.g., Cancer [ti]).
My NCBI
The PubMed optional facility "My NCBI" (with free registration) provides tools for
- saving searches
- filtering search results
- setting up automatic updates sent by e-mail
- saving sets of references retrieved as part of a PubMed search
- configuring display formats or highlighting search terms
and a wide range of other options. The "My NCBI" area can be accessed from any computer with web-access. An earlier version of "My NCBI" was called "PubMed Cubby".
LinkOut
LinkOut is an NLM facility to link and make available full-text local journal holdings. Some 3,200 sites (mainly academic institutions) participate in this NLM facility (මාර්තු 2010 වන විට[update]), from in Denmark to in Seattle. Users at these institutions see their institution's logo within the PubMed search result (if the journal is held at that institution) and can access the full-text. Link out is being consolidated with Outside Tool as of the major platform update coming in the Summer of 2019.
PubMed Commons
In 2016, PubMed allows authors of articles to comment on articles indexed by PubMed. This feature was initially tested in a pilot mode (since 2013) and was made permanent in 2016. In February 2018, PubMed Commons was discontinued due to the fact that "usage has remained minimal".
askMEDLINE
askMEDLINE, a free-text, natural language query tool for MEDLINE/PubMed, developed by the NLM, also suitable for handhelds.
PubMed identifier
A PMID (PubMed identifier or PubMed unique identifier) is a , starting at 1
, assigned to each PubMed record. A PMID is not the same as a (PubMed Central identifier) which is the identifier for all works published in the free-to-access PubMed Central.
The assignment of a PMID or PMCID to a publication tells the reader nothing about the type or quality of the content. PMIDs are assigned to , editorial opinions, columns, and any other piece that the editor chooses to include in the journal, as well as peer-reviewed papers. The existence of the identification number is also not proof that the papers have not been for fraud, incompetence, or misconduct. The announcement about any to original papers may be assigned a PMID.
Each number that is entered in the PubMed search window is treated by default as if it were a PMID. Therefore, any reference in PubMed can be located using the PMID.
Alternative interfaces
The National Library of Medicine leases the MEDLINE information to a number of private vendors such as , , , , and many other commercial, non-commercial, and academic providers. ඔක්තෝබර් 2008 වන විට[update], more than 500 licenses had been issued, more than 200 of them to providers outside the United States. As licenses to use MEDLINE data are available for free, the NLM in effect provides a free testing ground for a wide range of alternative interfaces and 3rd party additions to PubMed, one of a very few large, professionally curated databases which offers this option.
Lu identifies a sample of 28 current and free Web-based PubMed versions, requiring no installation or registration, which are grouped into four categories:
- Ranking search results, for instance: ; MedlineRanker; MiSearch;
- Clustering results by topics, authors, journals etc., for instance: ; ClusterMed;
- Enhancing semantics and visualization, for instance: EBIMed; MedEvi.
- Improved search interface and retrieval experience, for instance, askMEDLINE BabelMeSH; and PubCrawler.
As most of these and other alternatives rely essentially on PubMed/MEDLINE data leased under license from the NLM/PubMed, the term "PubMed derivatives" has been suggested. Without the need to store about 90 GB of original PubMed Datasets, anybody can write PubMed applications using the eutils-application program interface as described in "The E-utilities In-Depth: Parameters, Syntax and More", by Eric Sayers, PhD. Various citation format generators, taking PMID numbers as input, are examples of web applications making use of the eutils-application program interface. Sample web pages include Citation Generator - Mick Schroeder, Pubmed Citation Generator - Ultrasound of the Week, PMID2cite, and Cite this for me.
Data mining of PubMed
Alternative methods to mine the data in PubMed use programming environments such as , or . In these cases, queries of PubMed are written as lines of code and passed to PubMed and the response is then processed directly in the programming environment. Code can be automated to systematically queries with different keywords such as disease, year, organs, etc. A recent publication (2017) found that the proportion of cancer-related entries in PubMed has risen from 6% in the 1950s to 16% in 2016.
The data accessible by PubMed can be mirrored locally using an unofficial tool such as MEDOC.
Millions of PubMed records augment various datasets about , like . Data analysis tools like are used by libraries to assist with cancellations: libraries can avoid subscriptions for materials already served by instant via like PubMed Central.

instance the option for focused clinical questions created by the NLM A PubMed Mobile option providing access to a mobile friendly simplified PubMed version is also available Search Standard search Simple searches on PubMed can be carried out by entering key aspects of a subject into PubMed s search window PubMed translates this initial search formulation and automatically adds field names relevant MeSH Medical Subject Headings terms synonyms Boolean operators and nests the resulting terms appropriately enhancing the search formulation significantly in particular by routinely combining using the OR operator textwords and MeSH terms The examples given in a PubMed tutorial demonstrate how this automatic process works Causes Sleep Walking is translated as etiology Subheading OR etiology All Fields OR causes All Fields OR causality MeSH Terms OR causality All Fields AND somnambulism MeSH Terms OR somnambulism All Fields OR sleep All Fields AND walking All Fields OR sleep walking All Fields Likewise soft Attack Aspirin Preventionis translated as myocardial infarction MeSH Terms OR myocardial All Fields AND infarction All Fields OR myocardial infarction All Fields OR heart All Fields AND attack All Fields OR heart attack All Fields AND aspirin MeSH Terms OR aspirin All Fields AND prevention and control Subheading OR prevention All Fields AND control All Fields OR prevention and control All Fields OR prevention All Fields Comprehensive search For optimal searches in PubMed it is necessary to understand its core component MEDLINE and especially of the MeSH Medical Subject Headings controlled vocabulary used to index MEDLINE articles They may also require complex search strategies use of field names tags proper use of limits and other features reference librarians and search specialists offer search services The search into PubMed s search window is only recommended for the search of unequivocal topics or new interventions that do not yet have a MeSH heading created as well as for the search for commercial brands of medicines and proper nouns It is also useful when there is no suitable heading or the descriptor represents a partial aspect The search using the thesaurus MeSH is more accurate and will give fewer irrelevant results In addition it saves the disadvantage of the free text search in which the spelling singular plural or abbreviated differences have to be taken into consideration On the other side articles more recently incorporated into the database to which descriptors have not yet been assigned will not be found Therefore to guarantee an exhaustive search a combination of controlled language headings and free text terms must be used Journal article parameters When a journal article is indexed numerous article parameters are extracted and stored as structured information Such parameters are Article Type MeSH terms e g Clinical Trial Secondary identifiers MeSH terms Language Country of the Journal or publication history e publication date print journal publication date Publication Type Clinical queries systematic reviews Publication type parameter allows searching by the including reports of various kinds of clinical research Secondary ID Since July 2005 the MEDLINE article indexing process extracts identifiers from the article abstract and puts those in a field called Secondary Identifier SI The secondary identifier field is to store accession numbers to various databases of molecular sequence data gene expression or chemical compounds and clinical trial IDs For clinical trials PubMed extracts trial IDs for the two largest trial registries ClinicalTrials gov NCT identifier and the International Standard Randomized Controlled Trial Number Register IRCTN identifier See also A reference which is judged particularly relevant can be marked and related articles can be identified If relevant several studies can be selected and related articles to all of them can be generated on PubMed or any of the other NCBI Entrez databases using the Find related data option The related articles are then listed in order of relatedness To create these lists of related articles PubMed compares words from the title and abstract of each citation as well as the MeSH headings assigned using a powerful word weighted algorithm The related articles function has been judged to be so precise that the authors of a paper suggested it can be used instead of a full search Mapping to MeSH PubMed automatically links to MeSH terms and subheadings Examples would be bad breath links to and includes in the search halitosis heart attack to myocardial infarction breast cancer to breast neoplasms Where appropriate these MeSH terms are automatically expanded that is include more specific terms Terms like nursing are automatically linked to Nursing MeSH or Nursing Subheading This feature is called Auto Term Mapping and is enacted by default in free text searching but not exact phrase searching i e enclosing the search query with double quotes This feature makes PubMed searches more sensitive and avoids false negative missed hits by compensating for the diversity of medical terminology PubMed does not apply automatic mapping of the term in the following circumstances by writing the quoted phrase e g kidney allograft when truncated on the asterisk e g kidney allograft and when looking with field labels e g Cancer ti My NCBI The PubMed optional facility My NCBI with free registration provides tools for saving searches filtering search results setting up automatic updates sent by e mail saving sets of references retrieved as part of a PubMed search configuring display formats or highlighting search terms and a wide range of other options The My NCBI area can be accessed from any computer with web access An earlier version of My NCBI was called PubMed Cubby LinkOut LinkOut is an NLM facility to link and make available full text local journal holdings Some 3

2019 PubMed Commons In 2016 PubMed allows authors of articles to comment on articles indexed by PubMed This feature was initially tested in a pilot mode since 2013 and was made permanent in 2016 In February 2018 PubMed Commons was discontinued due to the fact that usage has remained minimal askMEDLINE askMEDLINE a free text natural language query tool for MEDLINE PubMed developed by the NLM also suitable for handhelds PubMed identifier A PMID PubMed identifier or PubMed unique identifier is a starting at 1 assigned to each PubMed record A PMID is not the same as a PubMed Central identifier which is the identifier for all works published in the free to access PubMed Central The assignment of a PMID or PMCID to a publication tells the reader nothing about the type or quality of the content PMIDs are assigned to editorial opinions columns and any other piece that the editor chooses to include in the journal as well as peer reviewed papers The existence of the identification number is also not proof that the papers have not been for fraud incompetence or misconduct The announcement about any to original papers may be assigned a PMID Each number that is entered in the PubMed search window is treated by default as if it were a PMID Therefore any reference in PubMed can be located using the PMID Alternative interfacesMEDLINE is one of the databases which are accessible via PubMed Several companies provide access to MEDLINE through their platforms The National Library of Medicine leases the MEDLINE information to a number of private vendors such as and many other commercial non commercial and academic providers ඔක ත බර 2008 වන ව ට update more than 500 licenses had been issued more than 200 of them to providers outside the United States As licenses
