Pubmed & Trump policy
There are rumors that it is better to stop using PubMed. The Medical Library does not endorse this. Despite concerns about censorship, there are no concrete indications yet that search terms such as ‘gender’ and ‘transgender’ have been censored.
PubMed is still the preferred database for searching biomedical research publications. A good alternative is Embase. You can find this and other databases in the list of biomedical databases.
A message has been circulating in which a search result for a gender-related topic in PubMed has been compared with EuropePMC. You can't compare these well. EuropePMC contains preprints, conference papers and comments, so more non-peer reviewed publications.
The Medical Library is keeping a close eye on the situation. We will inform you if the advice on the use of PubMed changes.
