Articles in medical journals/medical research compiled by the National Library of Medicine. Includes detailed and controlled medical terminology (MESH headings) for each entry, to identify and fully trace research on specific medical topics.
Subjects include biomedicine and life sciences, bioengineering, public health, clinical care, and plant and animal science.
PubMed comprises of citations for biomedical journal articles from MEDLINE (or queued to be included in MEDLINE in the future), other life science journals, and selected medical books.
The Stan State library link adds a code (?otool=cacsuslib) to tell PubMed to add a Find It! link to let you access Stan State library subscriptions or an Interlibrary Loan request form for an article.
PubMed vs. MEDLINE
Both databases search a similar group of medical literature (mostly medical journals) compiled by the NLM. PubMed includes "future MEDLINE" articles that have not yet been fully indexed (assigned detailed MeSH / Medical Subject Headings), as well as a small amount of additional content (from life sciences journals and selected medical books).
All MEDLINE content is from a medical journals and all content includes detailed indexing according to carefully conrolled and applied Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), insuring all research on a specific content is accessible under standardized terms.
Access to the full articles:
PubMed links to the publisher's site of most articles, and for some articles, but not all, the publishers free online access via their site.
For articles that are not free to the general public online, use the University Library (linked via Find It! or by visiting the library website) to access content already purchased by Stan State (or to have the library acquire a copy for you).
