What is PubMed?

PubMed is an online database of more than 36 million citations of literature in the biomedical and life sciences. It has been publicly-available since 1996 and is maintained by NCBI. It does not contain full-text journal articles, but most entries link to where you can find the full-text article. 

NCBI is currently running a pilot program to now make preprints from bioRxiv, medRxiv, arXiv, and Research Square available on PubMed. 


This page provides an overview to searching PubMed. For additional help, please refer to the list of topics below or reach out to the library.
