PubGet (3rd Party PubMed/MEDLINE Tool)
The idea behind Pubget is that it speeds up the process of grabbing the full-text PDFs from PubMed search results. The videos below illustrate the idea:
Above: Embedded video. If you are reading this in an aggregator, you may need to visit the site to view the video.
If you’re at one of the following institutions, you can try a full-featured Pubget that links to full-text PDFs available to these institutions:
- MIT
- Harvard University
- Harvard Medical School
- University of Queensland
- Massachusetts General Hospital
From Pubget’s public site, you can get a feel for how it works, but it’ll only pull up open access PDFs.
To keep up on new developments, you can subscribe to the feed of the Pubget blog.
