Non-MeSH Indexed Citations

• Some of the citations received electronically from publishers may never become MEDLINE citations.
• These records are not assigned MeSH terms because they do not go through the indexing process.
• These records may have either the status tag [PubMed] or [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] and remain in PubMed even though they are not MEDLINE citations.
• There are three sources of these types of records:

1. Out-of-scope Articles from selectively indexed MEDLINE journals

• This may occur when a particular article in a
  selectively indexed journal is out-of-scope for MEDLINE (such as a geology article in a general scientific journal like Science or Nature).
• These citations have been reviewed for accurate bibliographic data.
• The status tag [PubMed] appears on these citations.
  

Note: Indexing information for a particular journal can be found in the “Indexed In” field in the NLM Catalog. Use PubMed’s Journals Database to link to this information.
