A bibliographic listing of references to articles from approximately 3100 biomedical journals worldwide. The National Library of Medicine indexes literature that has been judged most useful to Index Medicus users by a group of distinguished physicians, medical editors, and medical librarians. Materials selected for inclusion are indexed by highly trained literature analysts. Citations are published only under subjects appearing in MeSH (Medical Subject Headings). Monthly issues consist of two volumes: Part 1 Subject A-P and Part 2 Subject Q-Z, Authors, and Bibliography of Medical Reviews. The cumulated contents of the twelve monthly issues comprise the annual Cumulated Index Medicus.
