Since May 2020, PubMed has been available via a new search interface on a completely new technology platform. The modern design enables more intuitive and easier navigation and is responsive to all end devices.

In order to use all possibilities in PubMed, one should work with a personal account (one-time registration necessary).

The National Center for Biotechnology Information NCBI will be changing the login option in June, so anyone who already has an account should link it to either the university login or a personal Google, Microsoft, Facebook or ORCID account:

Benefit from the added value of a personal account!

Highlighting
Using this option, the search terms are highlighted in color and thus the relevancy of a hit can be captured very quickly. PubMed often adds additional terms to the search in the background using the Automatic Term Mapping algorithm, these are clearly visualized with highlighting.

Personal filters
Are you repeatedly interested in reviews, clinical studies or medical literature for a specific age group? Select up to 15 filters in your personal account and you will see your result lists filtered directly according to these criteria

Create an alert
Have you developed a good search strategy for your research topic and want to stay updated? Then create an alert. New records added to the database will be matched with your specific search query and you will regularly receive an email with the new hits.
