PubMed is nearing the completion of a platform overhaul and the new interface is ready for testing via PubMed Labs. Key features of the redesigned PubMed include:
- Updated mobile-compliant interface allows you to search from a desktop, laptop, or your phone via a consistent interface
- Search results display in 'Best Match' order using a newly launched state-of-the-art machine learning algorithm.
- Articles are displayed with a brief citation and snippet of the most relevant portion of the article's abstract.
Along with the updated interface, Himmelfarb library users can continue to take advantage of these customized features:
- Find it @ Himmelfarb links connect users to full-text articles in Himmelfarb Library's collection, as well as the library's interlibrary loan service, Documents@Go.
- Evidence-based practice filters allow users to quickly identify specific article types including systematic review, practice guidelines, randomized controlled trials, cohort and case control studies, and background reviews.
PubMed's redesign is available for testing now via the PubMed Labs website. This fall, the updated interface will become the default PubMed interface. Once the new interface is launched, users will be able to switch from the updated interface to the classic interface for the remainder of 2019.
