Why PubMed is More Reliable
PubMed is a free engine which offers researchers and scholars with access to references and
abstracts on biomedical and life sciences topics primarily from the MEDLINE databases. The
advantages of using PubMed is that information is human-curated, rather than auto-indexed as in
the case of Google Scholar. This is to mean that data from PubMed is selected for inclusion by
actual humans basing their eligibility on scholarly standards by literature reviews. In addition,
PubMed is strictly associated with clinical and biomedical journals and data is entered uniformly
and in a structured manner: author, title, date, journal name. As a result, researchers get accurate
information which is up-to-date and reliable. Further, articles from PubMed are tagged in
accordance to their relevance, for instance, “clinical trials” or “article reviews,” as well as their
keywords derived ...
