👉 The PubMED (Public Medicine Evidence Database) project is an open-access, global initiative aimed at collecting and disseminating biomedical literature from a wide range of sources, including preprints, conference proceedings, and non-traditional databases. Unlike traditional PubMed, which primarily indexes articles from peer-reviewed journals, PubMED captures a broader spectrum of evidence, including research from preprints, working papers, and clinical trials, making it particularly valuable for rapid response to emerging health issues. The project uses a standardized metadata schema to ensure consistent and comprehensive indexing, facilitating easy searching and retrieval of relevant studies. PubMED also emphasizes accessibility, offering free access to its database, which supports researchers, clinicians, and policymakers worldwide in making timely, evidence-based decisions.
