PubMed does not include full text journal articles; however, links to the full text are often present when available from other sources such as PubMed Central (PMC), a component of PubMed.
PubMed Central, a component of PubMed, is a free, full-text database of scholarly journals on biomedical and life sciences, and is maintained by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
PubMed vs. PubMed Central
PubMed and PubMed Central (PMC) are often mistakenly thought of as the same database. To be officially recognized by PubMed, journals must be selected by the National Library of Medicine for inclusion in MEDLINE. This requires a review process to ensure that the journal meets the appropriate quality and technological standards necessary for inclusion in MEDLINE.
PubMed Central is a different database from PubMed and does not have the same stringent requirements for inclusion. Articles from PMC may be searchable in PubMed, but this does not mean they are indexed in MEDLINE. If a publisher claims that their journal is in PubMed, you should confirm that this means they are indexed in MEDLINE and not simply searchable in PubMed by appearing in PMC.
