PubMed

The PubMed Mobile Beta site is now live at: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/

PubMed Mobile Beta provides a simplified mobile friendly Web interface to access PubMed. It includes the same basic search functionality and content as Standard PubMed; that is, all search terms and fields work similarly.

**PubMed Mobile does not include specialized search pages, such as Limits and Advanced search, or added features, such as links to ACPHS provided full text access, My NCBI or Clipboard. To use these other PubMed features, display your retrieval in Standard PubMed via the link at the bottom of the screen.**

Enter your search in the search box and click “Search”. The initial display includes the article title, first author’s name, journal title abbreviation, and year of publication. Click “Free Full Text” or “Review” on the Summary search results. Click “Next” to go to the subsequent search results pages. Click the article title to display the Abstract format.

Not all data provided on the Standard PubMed Abstract form are included (for example, MeSH vocabulary); to see complete data use the link to Standard PubMed.

Related Citations display below the abstract. On the Abstract page, click “Previous” or “Next” to navigate to other citation abstracts. Click the “Back to results” link to redisplay the Summary search results.

A link to Standard PubMed is available at the bottom of all PubMed Mobile pages.
