Pubmed

Pubmed IDs are the most reliable way of getting an accurate, fully-formated citation
using this tool. Input either a PubMed ID or the URL of the abstract page for the
article.

Pubmed ID (PMID): 12701550
PCMID: PMC2876173
Pubmed URL: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17276798

DOI Name

A digital object identifier (DOI) is a character string used to uniquely identify an
electronic document or other object. If a PubMEd ID isn’t available this is the
second most reliable query.

ISBN

ISBN-10: 0323040683
ISBN-13: 9780781765558

URL

URL of a journal publication. Scrapes the meta data of the webpage looking for
PUBMED ID, DOI, or other identifying tags. Not always the most reliable since some
publications don’t embed this information. If nothing is found using the URL as a
query, look through the contents of the page for a DOI number.
