MEDLINE (R)
MEDLINE (R), the bibliographic database of the National Library of
Medicine, is the primary source in the United States for information
from the biomedical literature. It is the computerized counterpart of
Index Medicus, and also contains citations that appear in the Index
to Dental Literature and the International Nursing Index. MEDLINE
contains references to articles from more than 3200 journals, selected
for inclusion because of their importance to health professionals.

Each reference to an article in MEDLINE is called a record or a
bibliographic citation. The full text of the articles is not in
MEDLINE, but approximately half of the citations contain abstracts
(summaries) written by the article's author. MEDLINE is international
in scope; approximately 75% of the citations are published in English.
MEDLINE includes such topics as: microbiology, delivery of health
care, nutrition, pharmacology, and environmental health. The
categories covered by MEDLINE include: anatomy; organisms; diseases;
chemicals and drugs; technics and equipment; psychiatry and psychology;
biological sciences; physical sciences; social sciences and education;
technology, agriculture, food, industry; humanities; information
science and communications; and health care.
