Send to RSS Feed

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is an XML-based format used to send new items or information to recipients who use RSS feed readers. The Send to RSS function in PubMed allows you to generate an RSS feed of a PubMed search to display new results, with links back to the citations in PubMed.
