The moment we have all been waiting for is here, PubMed’s redesign is live and available for everyone to poke and play with. Right away the splash page is a bit of a departure from what we are used to. At first glance I like how it appears cleaner and less cluttered, however it will take me some time to get used to. For example I was looking for the Advanced Search feature underneath PubMed Tools near Citation Matcher and I couldn’t find it. That is when it dawned on me that the link for Advaced Search is up above the search box. Oops I should have thought of that.
The newly redesigned PubMed is now accessible from a link on the pubmed.gov page (New! PubMed: Try the redesigned PubMed) or directly from http://preview.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed
Here’s the link to the NLM Technical Bulletin describing the major features of the PubMed redesign.
