TLDRPubMed, a comprehensive biomedical literature database, boasts over 30 million citations including daily updates. It covers a wide range of topics from environmental health to genetics and physics, with its core in clinical medicine. The largest component, MEDLINE®, is the National Library of Medicine's primary bibliographic database, featuring citations and abstracts from over 5,000 biomedical journals worldwide. The inclusion of journals in MEDLINE is determined by the Technical Review Committee for the Selection of Literature, which meets three times a year. PubMed also incorporates citations from PubMed Central (PMC), a free online full-text repository of biomedical and biological science journals. PMC includes articles from NIH-funded research and serves as a repository for research funded by other public and private entities with similar missions. The National Library of Medicine adds MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) to enhance searchability. PubMed provides free web access and offers data for reuse and repurposing, facilitating biomedical research information search from anywhere with internet access.
