hi all i've decided to answer a private question to me in re PubMed this way so that all who are interested may benefit: >When you go to PubMed and enter the PMID number >do you get an abstract or the complete article? the pmid number refers to an article [as published in a peer-reviewed medical journal] contained in pubmed's database of over 9 million references, which is indexed and searchable by the pmid number, the authors, the journal name, the date, and, last but not least, the subject[s] the pubmed site generally, but not always, has the abstract [aka summary] of the article available on-line [i.e. viewable and copy-and-paste-able from the internet] the pubmed site also has links to the many medical journals on-line which may, but not always, have their entire contents available to internet users, which may, but not always, have free access to non-subscribers if you want to look at an entire article as referenced in pubmed but can't find the journal or the article on-line on the internet the [second] best place to find it is in a real library with real [non-ethereal] copies of the journal however, since so many of us visit neurologists on a regular basis another option might be to negotiate a swap with your medico: your leading-edge up-to-date pmid references in exchange for access to her/his journals! for those of us with world wide web internet access the PubMed archives web-site is located at: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed the PubMed service is provided free of charge to all net-nerds by the government of the united states of america hear! hear! your cyber-sibling in archyology janet janet paterson 51/10 - endocarb/selegiline/fluoxetine almonte - ontario - canada - [log in to unmask] parkinson alliance - http://www.parkinsonalliance.net
