MEDLINE (PubMed) is a comprehensive source for medical and biomedical sciences.
The Medline database is generally recognized as the premier source for bibliographic and abstract coverage of biomedical literature. Medline is the largest subset of PubMed. Widely used by students, researchers and clinicians, the data from the US National Library of Medicine (NLM) is available in various versions. Medline records appear in many databases but RCSI Library offers three versions: via PubMed, Ovid and Ebsco. PubMed is the NLM version and it is globally available and free to all. Each version enables optimum searching and results but access, features and interfaces differ. PubMed is the US National Library of Medicine research level version of MEDLINE indexing over 20 million medical and healthcare articles.
