PubRef to be Removed from PubMed | ||
In early 2001 PubRef will be discontinued. This decision was made because the number of PubRef searches have been negligible, and also an independent service, CrossRef was developed whose purpose is quite similar to PubRef. PubRef, will therefore, be removed from the Subset list on PubMed's Limit screen. Also,"AND notpubref[sb]" will no longer appear on the Details screen which shows how PubMed has translated your search. The former PubRef citations will be added to PubMed, but will not receive MEDLINE indexing unless the journals are submitted to LSTRC for review and recommendation for inclusion in MEDLINE.
