[Utilities-announce] PubMed XML subset values removed

[utilities-announce at ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Dear PubMed E-utility users,

In April, NLM announced selected queries will no longer be supported. Please see the NLM Technical Bulletin article, Update on PubMed Specialized Search Queries: Selected Queries No Longer Updated; Remain Available for Download and Customization: https://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/techbull/ma21/ma21_pubmed_special_queries.html

In early December, during the annual Year-End-Processing, the filters will be removed from the PubMed and NLM Catalog indexes.

Additionally, the PubMed EFetch, and FTP baseline and update XML files, will no longer carry these subset values, e.g., <CitationSubset>AIM</CitationSubset>

AIM = Core Clinical Journal
B = citations from non-Index Medicus journals in the field of biotechnology (not currently used).
C = citations from non-Index Medicus journals in the field of communication disorders (not currently used)
D = Dental Journals
E = Bioethics
F = older citations from one journal prior to its selection for Index Medicus; used to augment the database for NLM International MEDLARS Centers (not currently used).
H = citations from non-Index Medicus journals in the field of health administration (includes records from the former HealthSTAR database).
J = citations in the field of population information (not currently used; on records from the former POPLINE(r) database).
K = citations from non-Index Medicus journals relating to consumer health.
N = Nursing
Q = History of Medicine
QIS = History of Medicine
QO = History of Medicine
R = citations from non-Index Medicus journals in the field of population and reproduction (not currently used).
S = Space Life Sciences
T = citations from non-Index Medicus journals in the field of health technology assessment (includes records from the former HealthSTAR database)
X = AIDS

Please write to the NLM Help Desk if you have any questions:  https://support.nlm.nih.gov/support/create-case/

Kind regards,
PubMed Team
