Linking to free full text articles

PubMed does not contain full text articles, but in some cases you can link through to them. Articles in PubMed where free full text links are available are indicated in the results list. Links to the full text can then be found when viewing the article in Abstract view.

When working on a WUSTL-networked computer, you will automatically see Get it! links when viewing an article's abstract. The easiest way to see Get it! links in PubMed, when working on non-WUSTL computers or networks, is to access PubMed using this URL or via the entry for PubMed in the databases list.
