Ovid MEDLINE® Epub Ahead of Print and In-Process, In-Data-Review & Other Non-Indexed Citations
This link opens in a new windowContains records with the following possible status besides MEDLINE: Publisher, In-Data-Review, In-Process and PubMed-not-MEDLINE records from NLM. The Publisher records have recently been added to PubMed via electronic submission from a publisher, and are soon to proceed to the next stage, In-Process. This tag is also on citations received before late 2003 if they are from journals not indexed for MEDLINE, or from a journal that was accepted for MEDLINE after the citations' publication date. These citations bibliographic data have not been reviewed. The In-Data-Review records have been submitted to NLM electronically by the publisher, and the journal title, date of publication and volume/issue (source data) are being checked. The In-Process records are undergoing a citation level review; i.e., the author names, article title, and pagination are being checked. The PubMed-not-MEDLINE records have undergone quality review but are not assigned MeSH headings because the cited item is not in scope for MEDLINE either by topic or by date of publication, or is from a non-MEDLINE journal. These records are constantly changing. PubMed-not-MEDLINE records will not be added to the Medline database. Ovid receives records from NLM on a daily basis, however we are dependent upon NLM's update schedule.
Note: To search this database by keyword, users will need to deselect the "Map Term to Subject Heading" checkbox because the file does not include MeSH. Also, be aware that these citations have not gone through NLM's quality control process.
