Article on HubMed
I was digging around for information about HubMed to figure out if I should write a post about it, and discovered I had missed a really decent article about it.

Short discription of HubMed:
HubMed uses information from PubMed’s database, provided by the NCBI through the EUtils web service, to produce a search interface focused on browsing, organising and gathering information from the biomedical literature. Searches can be conducted using the full range of operators available in Entrez/PubMed; when using the default search options, results will be identical to those those of a PubMed search.
Special features of HubMed include date- or relevance-ranked search results; web feeds for regular updates of published literature matching any search; clustering and graphical display of related articles; expansion of query terms; direct export of citation metadata in many formats; linking of keywords to external sources of information; manual categorisation (tagging) and storage of interesting articles.

Not to mention the offering of COinS for those that have OpenURL Resolvers and activation agents. These help to negotiate access to articles.
