Inflammatory Breast Cancer Research Foundation uses PubMed, a free publicly available database. It is a bit difficult to learn how to search on PubMed, but there is a helpful Quick Start Guide. Some articles we find have only a free abstract (summary of the article) available. A link to the full text from other sources, such as directly from a publisher’s web site, may be provided. The full text journal site may require a subscription although access may be available through your local library. Consider visiting your local library if there is not an online copy available, since some library systems subscribe to medical journals. Other articles have free full text of the complete article.
PubMed comprises more than 30 million citations for biomedical literature from MEDLINE, life science journals, and online books. Citations may include links to full-text content from PubMed Central and publisher web sites. Content on PubMed Central is always free, but most published research is not found on that site.
PubMed is a free resource that is developed and maintained by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), at the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM), located at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
