Home > FAQs > DOCLINE -- Identifying Free Full Text Articles in PubMed |
In PubMed search results, a colored icon is displayed next to a citation if free full text is available (and the publisher has provided this information to NLM):
Free full text article available in PubMed Central PubMed Central (PMC)
Free full text article available at the producer's site
Clicking on the icon displays the abstract. Clicking on the link or links that display immediately above the Related Links display the full text article. See example citation below. Clicking on either the producer site link ("Read the full article on Thrombosis Journal") or the PMC link ("Free full text article in PubMed Central") will display the free full text article. The library's LinkOut link displays at the bottom of the citation ("Welch FULL-TEXT").
