This guide is a central location for information regarding PubMed. The genesis of this project is the upcoming change from the Legacy PubMed to the new version referred to as either New PubMed or PubMed Labs. This terminology will be used throughout the guide to differentiate between the two distinct search tools.
The other sections of this guide present several common tasks, with side-by-side text and/or images illustrating how to do them in the Legacy PubMed and in New PubMed. These comparisons show the desktop versions of PubMed. New PubMed is intended to be used with a variety of different devices and features a mobile-friendly search.
