What is the difference between PubMed and PubMed Central?

Answer

Both PubMed and PubMed Central index millions of biomedical articles. They are provided by the U.S. National Institutes of Health's National Library of Medicine. 

PubMed Central (PMC) contains ALL full-text articles and documents. It is a subset of PubMed.

PubMed has no full text articles. It is an index of information about articles and documents that are available in other databases.

Baker College students can access medical journal articles at the Library Resources under Health Sciences.
