PubMed Tools

Here are some tools to enhance your PubMed searching. Some of these also link to full-text articles and the original citation records in PubMed.

  • ClusterMed - This is a Vivissimo product that clusters the 100-500 most recent PubMed results into categories. The results can be clustered and re-clustered by MeSH headings or authors alone, or by a combination of MeSH and title/abstract words. Users can register for a 30-day trial and get the 500-result sets, and unregistered users can use ClusterMed for 100-result sets. The original demo for PubMed is still available and will bring back result sets of 200.
  • my.PubMed - This PubMed search interface one allows you to create a personal user account and save your searches and have new citations e-mailed to you on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. There's also an xml button option if you want to save the search as an RSS feed in an aggregator like NewzCrawler.
  • HubMed - Also offering an xml button option, this is the simplest of the alternative PubMed search interfaces.
  • BioMail - This is another alerting service where you can set up an account to run and save PubMed searches and receive new citations weekly, biweekly or monthly.
  • PubCrawler - Similar to BioMail, except that is also works for PubMed and GenBank searches. Not as intuitive as BioMail.
