PubMed Central Tops 100 Journal Mark

PubMed Central (PMC) is an online archive of full-text peer-reviewed research articles, editorials and essays encompassing topics in the life sciences. The PMC service debuted in February 2000 with content from the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) and Molecular Biology of the Cell. Presently over 100 journals deposit the full text of their articles in PMC. A list of currently available and forthcoming journals is accessible from the PMC homepage. PMC is integrated with PubMed, such that articles retrieved in PubMed will contain links to the PMC versions, when available.

The online format of articles in PMC is consistent for all journals. The journal’s logo serves as a hyperlink to the publisher’s site, providing journal-specific content, and some journals may direct PMC to display the full-text articles from the journal site. A search box on the PMC home page offers free text searches of the journals in PMC.

PMC is also searchable as an Entrez database. In addition to full text searching, organism names in the full text are recognized and indexed, to provide links to the taxonomy database. PMC can be accessed from the PubMed homepage, by choosing PMC from the Entrez drop-down menu on any page, or directly at:
