MEDLINE, PubMed Central and PubMed
A journal can appear in PubMed because it is indexed in MEDLINE, or because its articles are deposited in PubMed Central. Institutions sometimes treat these differently, so we tell you exactly how each shortlisted journal is listed.
Who looks for PubMed journals
- Medical, dental, nursing and pharmacy researchers
- Life science and public health scholars
- Clinicians publishing case reports and clinical studies
What we check before recommending a journal
- That it is listed today, not just in the past, since databases drop journals regularly
- That its scope fits your paper
- Review time, acceptance rate where published, and article processing charge
- That the website you submit to is the journal's real site, not a clone
