List of Serials Indexed for Online Users

The National Library of Medicine (NLM) designed the List of Serials Indexed for Online Users to provide bibliographic information for serials from which articles are indexed with the MeSH® vocabulary and cited in MEDLINE®, the backbone of NLM's PubMed® database (does not cover OLDMEDLINE titles). More detailed bibliographic data and information about indexing coverage for serials cited in MEDLINE/PubMed can be found in LocatorPlus, NLM's online catalog, at http://locatorplus.gov.

The 2004 edition contains 10,372 serial titles, including 4,780 titles currently indexed for MEDLINE, cited alphabetically by abbreviated title followed by full title.

The List of Serials Indexed for Online Users is available free in both Portable Document Format (PDF) and eXtensible Markup Language (XML) format.

Use of the data is permitted after reading Terms and Conditions (includes the links to the DTD and the data).

Also available:

The List of Journals Indexed in Index Medicus lists the 4,098 journals being currently indexed for Index Medicus® as of January 2004, in four sections: (1) Alphabetic listing by abbreviated title, followed by full title; (2) Alphabetic listing by full title, followed by abbreviated title; (3) Alphabetic listing by subject field; and (4) Alphabetic listing by country of publication.

Serfile, which contains all serial bibliographic records in LocatorPlus whether or not they have been cataloged by NLM, is available or lease at no cost. See http://www.nlm.nih.gov/databases/leased.html#books for more information.
