PMID (identifier)
More actions
A PMID (PubMed identifier, or PubMed unique identifier) is a unique integer assigned to every record indexed in PubMed, the bibliographic database of biomedical and life-sciences literature maintained by the National Center for Biotechnology Information at the United States National Library of Medicine.
A PMID carries no check digit and resolves directly: the record with PMID 24507440 is found at https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24507440. It identifies a PubMed record rather than the article itself, and is distinct from the PMCID, which points to the full-text copy held in PubMed Central.
On this wiki the PMID label is generated by citation templates from the |pmid= parameter and links here. The numeric value links to the corresponding PubMed record.
