NCBI Logo Search NCBI Insights A more modern PMC is coming – let us know what you think in PMC Labs! We’re updating PubMed Central (PMC) to a give you a more modern and easier to use site and we want your feedback. The first phase of this work is now on PMC Labs for you to explore and provide feedback. In the first phase we have focused on modernizing PMC’s platform to create a more stable and easy-to-update environment. This also includes some initial changes to the homepage (Figure 1), site organization, and article pages (Figure 2). Many of the updates you see on the Labs site create a similar look and feel for PMC and PubMed, reorganizing documentation to highlight the most accessed and important content first and consolidating redundant features to provide a smoother experience. Please visit PMC Labs to try out the PMC updates and provide feedback using the buttons on the lower right-hand side of the Labs pages (Figure 1). We will update the current PMC website with new features once we gather your input on the Labs site. Figure 1. The PMC Labs homepage featuring the PMC full text search bar, links to the most heavily used documentation, information for distinct groups of PMC users (Authors, Publishers, and Developers), statistics on deposits, an updated “New in PMC section” (not shown), and a prominent Feedback link (circled) for you to provide comments and suggestions. Search results in PMC Labs are unchanged When you run a search, you’ll notice the search results display in PMC Labs is the same as on the current PMC website. You will still have access to existing filters, search details, recent activity, NCBI data links, and the databases menu in the search bar through the search results page. We are currently gathering input on how to provide the best search experience across PMC and the other NCBI literature databases New Article Display in PMC Labs Clicking on an article record in the search results will return you to the Labs view. The article itself will look largely unchanged, but as an initial improvement, we have updated the right-hand display to highlight the most frequently used content/links. Figure 2 highlights features of the PMC Labs article display. Figure 2. The PMC Labs article view for PMC8139428. Highlighted features described below. To see what articles in PMC cite the record you are viewing: Continue to use the “cited by” link in the yellow box above the abstract. To view the corresponding PubMed record: Click on the PMID link. You can also go directly to “Similar Articles” from the “View in PubMed” section. To find related data: The associated data box and in-article linking to records in other NCBI databases will continue to be available in Labs. We’re working on expanding the connections between full text articles in PMC and related data, including those previously available in the “Links” portlet. To view other article formats: See the “Other Formats” section at the top of the right-hand panel. Articles will be available in PDF and PubReader formats, or Printer-Friendly if no PDF is available. Some mobile devices may continue to load the PubReader format as the default display as we continue to optimize the site for mobile use. To see your recent activity: You can find details on previous searches from your session by clicking on “Advanced” under the search bar. You may also visit your My NCBI dashboard to view recent activity. To view in-article references: Hover over or click on any linked reference in the article to view the complete reference list entry. The reference snippet no longer displays to the right of the corresponding paragraph. Your Feedback Helps Shape Our Next Steps We will be relying on comments that you submit through the green Feedback button on the Labs pages to see if the changes we make are helpful and to guide the improvements that will be part of future phases.

Reply Merrill Knapp June 24, 2021 at 12:41 pm If you are going to change the article display it would be very helpful if you would display the PMID of the reference as well as the link to PubMed. Some of us catalog our references using PMIDs and it is an extra step to have to follow the link to PubMed to get the ID. Loading... Reply Kęstutis K.Urba June 27, 2021 at 11:44 pm When someone writes a scientific article he uses a set of different facts from bibliography he gathered. These facts usually makes 60-90% of the article text. For example, revew articles or mosaic style articles, I write, contains 90% of citations. I would like to have so called ’mosaic builder’ in ncbi site to compose not only bibliography but single sentencies- facts from bibliography articles too. This would be very efficient tool for article constructing at the beginning of writing reviews and mosaic when the ne tik step is to conclude. Loading...

Reply David August 12, 2021 at 2:45 pm I have to admit, I use DuckDuckGo, citing a topic, i.e. parathyroid hormone (my ﬁrst), and PMC. I do not believe I have ever gone to the homepage, weird as that sounds. I do use references and cited by, as I used those, manually made, in my 1970s color television research (about 1500 papers!) Software makes this ever so much less stressful! Loading... Reply Vladimir Matveev August 20, 2021 at 4:28 am The button CITE gives the doi in a shortened format (example: doi: 10.1016/j.cell.2018.03.065). However, journals increasingly require the full doi format (example: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2018.03.065). Therefore, please give the full format under the button: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2018.03.065 instead of this one: doi: 10.1016/j.cell.2018.03.065 Loading... Reply Jorgen September 21, 2021 at 5:04 pm The classic PMC display is excellent for viewing and organizing articles (except for the “Save as/Collections” portlets that were destroyed when Pubmed classic was scrapped and replaced by telephone version. I wish “Save as/Collections” portlets were restored) The novel “PMC labs” is optimized for telephone screen – oversized and lacks all the right hand side panel functions like related articles, wastes more screen space, making it much worse for computer use. Pubreader is already good enough for telephone use, the novel “PMC labs” version adds nothing but removes a lot of function and usability Loading...
