Drum roll, please...

Welcome to the blog! OK, so this isn't the first post, but we're a little new at this, so bear with us. Hopefully, if you're reading this you've already seen Pubget itself, either at www.pubget.com or at harvard.pubget.com, mit.pubget.com, uq.pubget.com, mgh.pubget.com, or one of the other flavors (about which we've already written). It's like Pubmed, the government search engine for papers in the life sciences, except with Pubget you get the PDFs right away (if you have access; more about that in another post). We started the blog to give people a place to find out more about things they were asking about, including

  • how to search

  • what new features are in the works

  • how to get their college/university/company supported

  • how Pubget respects copyrights and subscriptions

  • how open access initiatives in the U.S. and Europe are affecting search


and anything else about how to get to the literature fast, so you can spend your time doing science instead of looking for it. So: welcome and thanks for reading!
