PubMed Full Text Link – Use Expanded

Are you using the Correct URL to access PubMed? To make the most of access to e-journals, use the URL to PubMed available on the Tucker Library Home Page.

If you have a bookmark for PubMed, check to see that it is using the Correct URL.

BUT…

This famous Correct URL has changed! So check your bookmarks and fix it!

This is now the Correct URL:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?holding=njclib_fft&otool=njclib

Note >>> njclib is there twice, so that your access to e-journals is fully available to you.

Note >>> _fft – This is the new designation. Now the blue Full Text icon will appear for every Free Full Text (fft) article in the database. No more searching the publisher’s icon for the word “free.” The Blue icon will take you there.

Review of PubMed Icons

>>> Click to directly access an article the Tucker Library subscribes to, or that is free from the publisher.

–

>>> Click to access the Article Linker to find more free and subscribed articles, check the holdings of UCD HSL, or order an interlibrary loan.

–

>>> This indicates we hold the article in our print journal collection. If you click on it, it will tell you the holdings, but doing that just tells you the same thing you already know. Come to the library and copy the article. At the library copy machine you can make a print or PDF copy.

NIH Public Access Policy Resources Page

The new NIH Public Access Policy mandates that as of April 7, 2008 scientists submit journal final peer-reviewed manuscripts, that arise from NIH funds, to the digital archive PubMed Central (http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/). The Policy requires that these articles be accessible to the public on PubMed Central to help advance science and improve human health.

After May 25, 2008, all NIH applications, proposals, and progress reports must include the PubMed Central reference number when citing a paper that falls under the policy and is authored or co-authored by the investigator.

Does this apply to you?

You are in luck! The Tucker Medical Library has developed a slide show and resource page to help you figure out how to submit your articles. Most publishers submit your manuscripts for you.

But, just in case, look at these resources and the 10 minute slide show (if you read every word!) to find out the details.
