MEDLINE/PubMed Citations
PubMed is a free resource supporting the search and retrieval of biomedical and life sciences literature with the aim of improving health–both globally and personally.
The PubMed database contains citations and abstracts of biomedical literature. It does not include full text journal articles; however, links to the full text are often present when available from other sources, such as the publisher's website or PubMed Central (PMC).
See the PubMed User Guide for more information. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/help/

If you are incorporating these files into a local database, load the baseline files first, then load the daily update files in numerical order.
