New look PubMed

From today, PubMed has changed to a new format. All the features of PubMed are still there…….but in a different place.

From the home page, you still have the search box and you can also link to:
MeSH Database
Clinical Queries (for evidence-based filters)
Lots of Help – see Using PubMed

The Limits, History and Details features can now be found in Advanced Search. Here you will also find links to other resources such as the MeSH database or Clinical Queries.

Why not take this opportunity to catch up with PubMed features and take the tutorials? See http://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/disted/pubmed.html

The web address (http://www.pubmed.gov/) remains the same, so any bookmarks you have set up won’t be affected. Any saved searches or alerts (My NCBI) won’t be affected by the changes.

Further details available from the NLM (producers of PubMed) at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/techbull/so09/so09_pm_redesign.html and

New Advanced Search on PubMed

In the new search interface you will find a search box on the top and new sections beneath it, which you probably already are familiar with:

> PubMed Search History - It displays your five last searches
> Search by Author, Journal, Publication Date, and more. These field searching screens allow you to choose specific fields to search in (including MeSH or subheadings) and to combine these fields (AND, OR). Author and Journal fields have the auto-complete feature for entering terms; for other fields you can use the helpful index feature
> Limit by Topics, Languages, and Journal Groups
