List of All Journals Cited in PubMed^®

Return to Web VersionPrinter-friendly Version

Approximately 19,542 records are included in the PubMed journal lists which are updated daily and include all MEDLINE® titles as well as OLDMEDLINE and other non-MEDLINE titles in PubMed. The PubMed journal lists cover the entire span of MEDLINE, not just currently indexed journals.

A few notes about PubMed journal lists:

• The lists contain the same data but in different formats.
  
• The records are not in alphabetical order.
  
• The JrId is a sequential identifier number.
  
• There are some gaps as records are deleted, so the bottom JrId number does not equal the total number of records in the file.
  
• Full titles contain initial articles which may affect use of these data for searching and filing purposes.
  
• The NlmId is the accession number for the journal's record in Voyager, NLM's ILS.
  
• ISO Abbreviations are constructed at NLM to assist NCBI in linking from GenBank to PubMed and do not necessarily conform to the ISO standard. NLM's ISO Abbreviations are available for less than one-third of the journals currently covered in MEDLINE they exist for approximately one-fifth of all journals ever covered in MEDLINE.
  
• ESSN is the ISSN of the online version of the journal.
