HubMed-Keeping up with the Literature
HubMed is a new, alternative interface to PubMed
that uses powerful features to help you keep abreast
of new literature with ease. It is an alternative
to searching Web of Science.
You can:
- Keep up-to-date from alerts about new research
on your topic via RSS news feeds
- Post comments on articles
- Download records into bibliographic software such
as EndNote
The simple, clean interface is easy to use. Simply
enter your search terms in the box.
HubMed's special features allow you to integrate
your queries into your everyday activities. For example:
RSS feeds of your searches can be updated daily by
putting your search results into your newsreader,
such as NewzCrawler
or
NetNewsWire.
You can also conduct your searches using HubMed's
bookmarklet directly from your tool bar. No need to
visit the home page each time; the java applet allows
you to enter your search and get the results quickly.
Simply drag the link to your toolbar.
HubMed's other features include the ability to import
citations to bibliographic software, such as EndNote
and Procite.
The TrackBack feature allows you to post comments about
an article for others to read. TrackBack is a peer-to-peer
communication system that allows comments and conversations
between weblogs.
