Beyond PubMed: exploring other biomedical databases
Linda Atkinson & Juliet Ralph [email protected] [email protected]
In this session•What is PubMed?
•Database overlap and coverage
•Embase, the “European Medline”
•BIOSIS: biology, life sciences
•Other biomedical databases
What is PubMed?
• A way of searching MEDLINE: • U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM) bibliographic database
• biomedicine and life sciences, bioengineering, public health, clinical care,
and plant and animal science .
Medline• Over 19 million references to journal articles, including reviews and clinical trials.
• Gathered from 4,600 biomedical journals published in the USA and 70 other countries.
• 1950 - present.
PubMed with Oxford links
• Use this version to get authenticated access to Oxford's full-text (via the "Find it @ Oxford" icon which appears in each record).
•www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?myncbishare=Oxford_HCL
• This is the link used on SOLO, Oxlip+ and our library pages.
EMBASEEMBASE differs from Medline in a couple of ways• EMBASE has a particular focus on drugs &
pharmacology• EMBASE covers a wider range of non- English
language journals• To get the advantages of both Medline and
EMBASE use SCOPUS
SCOPUS• Good coverage- especially in Medicine as it
covers both Medline and EMBASE• It is a very large database covering 18,000 +
journal titles as well as some book series and conferences
• Also links to Scientific web sites through SCIRUS• It has an easy-to-use interface with useful add-
ons such as citation tracker & journal analyzer
BIOSIS Previews• Life sciences & biomedical research covering
pre-clinical & experimental research, methods and instrumentation, animal studies, & more.
• 5000 journals• Plus conferences, patents, and books • 1926 - present• Updated weekly
Access via
• Web of Knowledge• …which also hosts Web of Science
• Science Citation Index (1945-present) • Conference Proceedings Citation Index-
Science (1990-present) • Plus Medline!

Other biomedical databases • AMED (Allied and Complementary Medicine)
• Global Health • PsycINFO (psychology)• SportDiscus (sports science)
Clinical databases
• TRIP (Turning Research into Practice)• evidence for clinical practice
• UpToDate• authoritative answers to clinical questions
Cochrane Library
• a collection of databases that contain high-quality, independent evidence to inform healthcare decision-making.
• Cochrane reviews represent the highest level of evidence on which to base clinical treatment decisions
• Systematic reviews
All available on• SOLO http://solo.ouls.ox.ac.uk • Or OxLIP+ (Oxford Libraries Information Platform)
• http://oxlip-plus.ouls.ox.ac.uk• Search for database name
Find it @ Oxford
Database overlap•Compare journal title lists with
•JISC Academic Database Assessment Tool (ADAT)
