Tue, 25 Jun 2024 11:34:00 EDT https://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/techbull/mj24/mj24_Clinical_Trials_Study_Record_Modernization.html ClinicalTrials.gov study records consist of required and optional data elements that summarize a study's protocol and results information. Sponsors and investigators submit the information for their studies during registration and results reporting, respectively. Over the past 25 years, the data elements and their requirements have changed in response to the evolution of trial reporting laws and policies. Consequently, older ClinicalTrials.gov records may be missing information that was not being collected or was optional during initial submission but was subsequently added or became required. As we modernized the ClinicalTrials.gov website, we considered the display of information and the related explanations that would be most helpful to users, including how to display the data submitted by study sponsors and investigators and how to indicate the information they did not provide.

Tue, 17 Jan 2023 09:47:00 EST https://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/techbull/jf23/jf23_next_phase_preprint_pilot.html Last month, the National Library of Medicine (NLM) announced plans to extend its NIH Preprint Pilot in PubMed Central (PMC) and PubMed beyond COVID-19 to encompass all preprints reporting on NIH-funded research.

Wed, 11 Jan 2023 08:43:00 EST https://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/techbull/jf23/jf23_ncbi_cgr.html Comparative genomics is a science that compares genomic data either within a species or across species to answer questions in biomedicine. Laboratory experiments can then investigate the functional impact of those genomics similarities and differences. The history of comparative genomics goes back to the mid-1990s, but comparative genomics is now accelerating. A flood of new data is emerging as DNA sequencing technology becomes cheaper and commoditized. While this growth poses many challenges to current tools and approaches, it also offers immense opportunity for scientific research and understanding. These insights continue to reveal novel model organisms that can further the impact of comparative genomics on human health.

The primary goal of the NIH Preprint Pilot will be to explore approaches to increasing the discoverability of early NIH research results. Following standard NLM practice, a citation for each preprint record in PMC will also be available in PubMed to further increase the discoverability of this content. The pilot will run for a minimum of 12 months. Lessons learned during that time will inform future NLM efforts with preprints.

In the past, many obituaries and &quot;in memoriam&quot; articles were indexed for MEDLINE based on subjective criteria that lead to inconsistent coverage; if an article was substantive it was cited and indexed with MeSH. However, most obituaries and in memoriam articles are not substantive and will no longer be cited and indexed. Substantive biographies will continue to be indexed for MEDLINE.

In the past, when journals published multiple translations of an article in the same issue, the English version was indexed for MEDLINE and citations for any non-English versions were included in PubMed as PubMed-not-MEDLINE (where Medical Subject Headings are not added). In many cases, users will still have access to the non-English versions of these articles when they access the full text on the publisher's web site. Mon, 21 May 2018 10:39:00 EDT
