A brief description of each database is available from the IGM introductory screen. PubMed also provides access and links to the integrated molecular biology databases included in NCBI's Entrez retrieval system. These databases contain DNA and protein sequences, 3-D protein structure data, population study data sets, and assemblies of complete genomes in an integrated system. The file contains over 11 million citations dating back to the mid-1960's.
Coverage is worldwide, but most records are from English-language sources or have English abstracts.
MD Consult develops and operates a family of online medical information sites serving the clinical content needs of physicians and other healthcare professionals. Founded by leading medical publishers that include Mosby and W.B. Saunders, MD Consult integrates peer-reviewed resources from over 50 publishers, medical societies and government agencies. IPA reviews and presents pharmaceutical literature and coverage including clinical and technical drug information, pharmacy practice, pharmaceutical education, and legal aspects of pharmacy and drugs. In 1988, IPA began including abstracts of papers presented at ASHP's major meetings, and now also includes presentation abstracts from the APhA and AACP annual meetings. IPA will eventually begin adding abstracts of approved Masters and Doctor theses for degrees offered through schools of pharmacy.
