Guides and databases: PubMed: PubMed vs MEDLINE (2024)

Although PubMedis essentially away of accessing the MEDLINE database, it actually contains some additional content, including references to some books and chapters, in-process and 'ahead of print' citations, and some articles which lie slightly outside of the subject scope of MEDLINE, such as those on astrophysics.

Note, however, that UCL's access to MEDLINEvia Ovidincludes in-process and 'ahead of print' citations soit is unlikely that you would have a need to search bothPubMed and Ovid MEDLINE.

Tip: PubMed is a great interface for carrying out abasic scoping search, or if you wish to identify a limited number of key references. MEDLINE via Ovidis recommended if you wish to carry out acomprehensive, structuredor systematic search.
