What is the difference between JAMA and PubMed?

Posted by Quintal on August 26, 2007, at 16:05:42

Do they each contain completely different studies, or are some in both JAMA and PubMed? Are there many other public-access databases like these? How comprehensive is the PubMed database?

Hi Quintal

I think JAMA is a journal containing original research, whereas PubMed is simply a database that collates research articles from other journals.

PubMed is one way of accessing the Medline database of over 5,000 journals. There are other ways to access the same database, but PubMed is probably the best known. JAMA is the acronym for Journal of the American Medical Association, which is one of those 5,000 indexed journals.
