Information for Publishers re: XML Tagged Data

Last Updated: April 27, 2004 Publishers whose journals are indexed in MEDLINE are encouraged to submit citation and abstract data electronically for inclusion in NLM's PubMed system.  Electronic submissions ensure that citations and abstracts are available to the public more rapidly, assignment of Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) will take place more quickly, and links to your Web site (if there is one) may be made using LinkOut.

Publishers approved for participation in PubMed should supply their formatted citations by FTP prior to or at the time of publication. It is critical that we receive XML files on a timely basis to ensure speedy entry of citation and abstract data into the system. FTP facilities are available for publishers to send data in a confidential and reliable manner.  NLM then adds these citations to the PubMed database and returns the PubMed Identifiers (PMIDs) to the publisher. Publishers must submit sample records to NLM before participation begins.

Publishers must submit citation data to NCBI for processing into PubMed using the required standard data format.
 

Additional Resources

A citation matching service is available for publishers to obtain the PMIDs of the references in their articles and link these references back to PubMed.
