This guide is a central location for information regarding PudMed. The guide will be used to create a landing page for general information and link to outside resources to assist with PubMed. The genesis of this project is the upcoming change from the Leg
As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, PubMed recently introduced several updates designed to improve usability and consistency across the platform. These changes are informed by user feedback and aim to facilitate a more efficient and accessible experience for all PubMed users. Key changes include improved rendering of reference lists, the addition of date stamps in search history downloads, streamlined sharing options, and other usability updates.

In August 2024, the Modernized Protocol Registration and Results System (PRS) became the primary website for Protocol Registration. The PRS is used by researchers to register studies on ClinicalTrials.gov. Users logging into PRS first see the Record List on the modernized website, with links available at several locations to take them to the Classic PRS. Highlighted features of the Modernized PRS include an improved design and easier navigation. In addition, users can add information for each module of the Protocol Section in any order. Protocol data elements include concise, plain language, onscreen help content, and contextual drawer content, providing additional information at the point a user needs it, and users can submit registrations from the Modernized PRS for review by ClinicalTrials.gov staff.
In response to user feedback, the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) is announcing an upcoming update to the data provided through PubMed's public FTP servers.
PubMed will soon reintroduce the ability to customize subject lines and body text when emailing search results or citations. With this update, the email feature will also require My NCBI login, and PubMed emails will only be sent to the email address associated with the My NCBI account.
As previously announced, the National Library of Medicine's (NLM's) National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) is taking steps to modernize the PubMed Central® (PMC) website. The current step is to update the PMC search functionality and user experience. In preparation for transitioning to an updated search later this year, PMC released a beta version in April for searchers to preview and test. We have already made some incremental improvements based on user comments and invite you to continue to provide feedback.
The annual Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) classes teach you how to adjust to MeSH changes in your PubMed searches and alerts. Both classes are now available on-demand through Moodle.
