I'm planning to add direction on "how to use" pubmed within the next month. Does anyone have suggestions or comment? Alot of the work will be based on the linke below, or perhaps I should just link to it. My idea is to have people search this database to be able to cite good then in the Wiki.

I'd be inclined not to. The Pubmed tutorial on their site is quite long and complex. It's not quite the role of an encyclopedia to act as a manual. But I'm open to suggestions. Mccready 02:06, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I plan to make a condensed two (2) page printable version. The basics, type in the searh box, your results mean this, then an explaination of opening an account, no more.

The biggest problem with their tutorial is that it reads like documentation, not a real tutorial. A tutorial should be enough to get your feet wet, then point (in a bullet format or other form) where to find other resources or instructions. That's about it.

Ok, let's see what you come up with. have fun :-) Mccready 11:44, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

This note is posted with some disappointment. For now, I am putting off indefinitely the authoring of the tutorial I suggested. meatclerk 16:23, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] subjects covered

I added a brief statement; The paragraph for nursing was disproportional to the other disciplines. DGG 17:35, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

I added recently the following entry to a very useful site (PubMedReader) but somebody deleted it. Why? It's free and open to anybody. There is not even ADVERTISMENT? Please leave this entry there. Thanks!

[edit] Question

I have (in vain) tried to find out, what "PubMed" stands for, though searching on the homepage on pubmed a long time and googling as well. I think this should, no: must be explained on Wiki. Pub: Public? Publications? Med: Medicine? Medical? Medline?
