We all know about Google but what is PubMed?
PubMed provides access to citations from biomedical literature.
It is largely composed of the MEDLINE database, from the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM). However, PubMed has quite a few extras such as: in-process citations (records for an article before it is indexed with MeSH and added to MEDLINE or converted to out-of-scope status) and some life science journal articles that have yet to be included in MEDLINE.
The database is updated on a daily basis and indexes journal articles and literature from journals such as JNCI, BMJ, Lancet, Lancet Oncology, NEJM, Nature, Cancer, British Journal of Cancer and the list goes on.....
Besides looking for the published literature in MEDLINE, you can find early online articles and new biomedical research as it's published.
