Want more details about a particular journal?

While there are many ways to get detailed publication information, one of the quickest is through the NLM Catalog: Journals referenced in the NCBI Databases portal, found within the PubMed homepage.

The database includes journals that are either currently or in the past were indexed in MEDLINE or in PubMed Central (PMC).

Each record provides all the historical names of the journal, the publication start date, current frequency and historical changes to the frequency, ISSNs for print and electronic versions, etc.

Note: This portal is not about journal rankings. That can be found in Journal Citation Reports (JCR). JCR provides metrics for journals, including impact factor.

Knowing that a journal is indexed in PubMed/Medline can be important when submitting a manuscript, as it provides a direct avenue for users to find your paper.
