Alterations to PubMed Abstract Display Format

McGhee M. Alterations to PubMed Abstract Display Format. NLM Tech Bull. 2011 Mar-Apr;(379):e24.

April 20, 2011 [posted]

NLM® recently made minor cosmetic alterations to the PubMed® Abstract Display format to clean up the look and ensure accessibility. We point out a few of the more important changes in the figure below (see Figure 1).

  • We updated the symbol for the open/close widget for Collaborators (A in Figure 1).

  • Some Comment/Correcton data now appear below the abstract. However, five important comments and/or corrections stay in their original location above the abstract (i.e., Retraction in, Partial Retraction in, Corrected and republished in, Erratum in and Update in) (B in Figure 1).

  • We updated the text style and indentation of the supplemental information (e.g., MeSH®) (C in Figure 1).
