- Abstract
PubMed Central (PMC) is a database of over 6 million free, full-text articles from the 1700s to the present in the biomedical sciences. PMC is maintained by the National Library of Medicine and is freely available online (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/). PMC includes Open Access articles, preprint articles, author manuscripts, and more. This presentation will explore how to use PMC, cover content you can expect to find in PMC, discuss and define Open Access articles, preprint articles, and author manuscripts in PMC, and will explain the relationship between PMC and the biomedical database PubMed.
