<h1>PubMed Central<span class="registered">®</span> (PMC) — New URL Format</h1>
|

|

<p><img class="initcap" src="../new_tb_graphics/t.gif" alt="graphical image of the letter T" width="35" height="43" />
|
||
|
||
he URL (Uniform Resource Locator) format of PMC was recently redesigned to allow for easier usability as well as consistency across the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Web site. To implement this change, we moved the previous site, <a href="//www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov">www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov</a>, into the NCBI domain as a sub-site. You can now access the PMC homepage at <a href="//www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc">www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc</a>. <strong></strong></p>
|
||
|
||
<p>The primary advantage of the new format is to enable the PMC site to become more fully integrated with other NCBI resources. The new URL is also more user-friendly — it no longer includes technology-driven terminology, such as Common Gateway Interface (CGI) script name and file extension (see <a href="#fig1">Figure 1</a>). </p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
In the new format, after the NCBI/PMC address, the URL first identifies the type of resource, e.g., the PMC journal list, with subsequent identification for a particular subset of that resource — in this case, the journal number (see <a href="#fig2">Figure 2</a>).</p>

There is now greater flexibility in accessing particular types of material because, in a number of cases, more than one URL can be used for the same resource. In these instances, there is one URL that is considered as primary; however, using any of the other URLs for that resource will redirect you back to the primary (or "canonical") one. For example (see <a href="#fig3">Figure 3</a>), although the first URL, which includes the PubMed Central identifier (PMCID), is the primary way to link to the article, you may also create a URL to obtain access to the article by using other identifiers, such as the PubMed identifier (pmid,) digital object identifier ( doi), or the issn-volume-issue-page (ivip).

There is now greater flexibility in accessing particular types of material because, in a number of cases, more than one URL can be used for the same resource. In these instances, one URL is considered to be canonical, or primary; however, using any of the ancillary URLs for that resource will redirect you back to the canonical one. For example (see <a href="#fig3">Figure 3</a>), although the first URL, which includes the PMCID to go directly to an article in PMC, is considered to be the canonical URL, you may also create a URL to access the article by using other identifiers, such as the pmid, doi, or the issn-volume-issue-page (ivip).</p>-->

||
Finally, with the roll-out of these more standardized URLs, as in the table below (see <a href="#fig4">Figure 4</a>), you will also find it easier to modify the Web addresses in your browser. Note that the canonical URL is given first and is shown in bold; the ancillary URLs are listed below it and use samples to indicate the format that should be followed. </p>
|
||
|
||
<p>The base URL is shown in footnote 1 of <a href="#fig4">Figure 4</a>.</p>

Although the use of the new URLs is now recommended, please also note that we have not completely discarded the old to bring in the new. If you do use the old pubmedcentral.gov URL, it’s not a problem. Your browser will be redirected to the new location.
