As you may have heard, we are working on a new version of PubMed, and we’ve recently released some new features that you can check out.
A new user guide answers many common questions about how best to use the new site. We’ve also added links on the new PubMed homepage to many popular sites including the E-utilities, Advanced Search, and the MeSH database.
The action menu (Figure 1) now contains Collections and My Bibliography, allowing you to manage and share groups of citations. After running a search, you will also find a “Create alert” link under the search box that lets you set up automatic My NCBI email updates for your search.

Going forward, we will continue to develop new features leading up to the time when this new version of PubMed will replace the legacy PubMed. As this progresses, we would love to hear what you think about these new additions! Please use the “Feedback” button (available on every page of the new PubMed) to submit your comments, questions, or concerns.
Still hoping for ‘sort by publication date’
Sorting by publication date will be available soon!
I see a method to download individual citation data, but no way to send multiple (full clipboard) to a citation manager such as EndNote. Is that forthcoming?
Save (to RIS for citation manager) is available on clipboard. It’s also on the regular results page under the “save” button.
Will be still be able to set preferences in MyNCBI?
Yes, you will be able to.
I will miss the Send To options for File and Email, and especially for Citation Manager. Will these options be added? Also, I second the previous requests to be able to sort by Publication date.
Save (to RIS for citation manager) is available on clipboard and on the regular results page under the “save” button.
Sorting by Publication Date will be available soon.
Please do not remove the RSS feed feature from PubMed. This will be an enormous loss to those who use RSS to interface PubMed with databases and RSS readers.
The pubmed website is still down, when is it going to be restored?
Still appears to be down on the AM of the 11th. Unfortunately none of my projects are on hold. Can someone post an anticipated date for relaunch?
We hope you’re not still having trouble accessing PubMed or other NCBI pages. We learned that Comcast users were having issues when accessing our resources. The problem was resolved on Friday, so if you’re still having trouble, please email us at info@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.
When will we be able to save a search into MyNCBI from Advanced mode?
While saving output in CSV format, can we also get Author country?
While using ENDNOTE I noticed that the Notes field populates differently in the new PubMed. I had been using that to pull the publication type but pub type does not show up in the notes field exported to ENDNOTE, just a couple of lines of data.
Thank you for letting us know. The best way to share information like this with us is by using the green Feedback tab on PubMed.
Very important that create RSS alerts is added to new PubMed before legacy is retired.
