PubMed is a free version of MEDLINE, the world's best-known medicine and clinical science database. MEDLINE covers literature from around the world since 1946, and it has a comprehensive set of controlled vocabulary called Medical Subject Headings (MeSH terms).
Although we recommend that you search MEDLINE on the Ovid or EBSCO platforms, if you do prefer to use PubMed then we suggest that you use our links to it: this will ensure your results point to the full text of our journals in addition to free articles.
