Researching Biomedical Literature on PubMed®

摘要

The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) developed PubMed®1 as a free gateway to the National Library of Medicine's MEDLINE® system, a database of over eighteen million citations and abstracts from biomedical literature. PubMed® contains over twenty million citations from MEDLINE®, and additional life/general science and chemistry journals. In addition to citations and abstracts, a subset of PubMed® records links to free full-text articles from life science journal publishers.2 Military lawyers might find PubMed® especially useful for evaluating medical cases involving depression, suicide, or for learning more about post-traumatic stress disorder.
