Wikipedia:PMID
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wikipedia software recognizes inline PMID codes for life sciences and biomedical articles and automatically creates a search link to PubMed, much like ISBN codes for books Wikipedia:ISBN. No template is required to enable this feature.
It is important when making a link to have only a space after "PMID" followed by the numbers; do not use the colon which is present in PubMed citations.
Example
- Correct: PMID 4957203
- Incorrect: PMID:4957203
- Incorrect: PubMed 4957203
[edit] External links

- Biblio.php, an extension of Mediawiki, the wiki software used here at Wikipedia. It provides a bibliography management system for wikis and supports direct PMID-based referencing.
