PubMed Central Website has a Fresh Look First Step in Ongoing Modernization Complete

“The National Library of Medicine (NLM) is pleased to announce an update to the user interface of its PubMed Central (PMC) digital archive—a free full-text archive of biomedical and life sciences journal articles. PMC’s fresh look and feel is the first step in an ongoing effort to modernize PMC, create a more accessible user experience across NLM literature databases, and enhance the long-term stability of the PMC infrastructure. The update, informed by user feedback, includes a reorganized homepage, easy-to-navigate help documentation, and streamlined article display. You will notice a similar look and feel between features in PMC and PubMed, NLM’s biomedical literature citation database. Article pages in the new design link to a new section in the PMC User Guide that shows how to access features in the new article page layout. PMC houses more than 7 million full-text records, spanning several centuries of biomedical and life science research, and is used by more than 3 million users every day. For now, the way you search on PMC and the display of the search results page will remain unchanged; you will continue to have access to the same services including current filters and facets, search details, and recent activity. You will also continue to have access to the classic interface from articles for at least three months as you adjust to the new site…”
