Medical Journals Backfiles access
Digitised journals will be made available through the National Library of Medicine's PubMed Central website. No charges will be levied to access this archive.
In addition to creating a digital copy of every page in the back-files, the digitisation process will also:
-
create a PDF for every discrete item (article, editorial, letter, advertisements, etc.) in the archive
-
subject the text to OCR (optical character recognition), thus facilitating free-text searching across the entire archive
-
create an XML citation for every article that is not currently in PubMed (i.e. all pre 1953 material) - this citation will then be added to PubMed, thus allowing users to find relevant articles by author/title/keyword access points.
