Note: While Medline and Pubmed are often used as interchangeable terms, they are technically not the same thing. Medline is the largest component (approximately 90%) of PubMed. More specifically, Medline is the portion of PubMed that has been indexed with MeSH. You can search Medline on other platforms, but generally, we recommend using the PubMed interface.
