PUBMED-to-Email - Project Page

Welcome to PUBMED-to-Email, or in short, pm2mail.

The Web has many useful resources, but it takes time to find them. In most developing countries, connectivity is slow, web access is limited and users pay for time spent on-line, which is frequently expensive.

pm2mail is a software tool to allow access to PUBMED - the U.S. National Library of Medicine's bibliographic database - over email. Aditionally, pm2mail is able to retrieve fulltext article from publishers websites and distribute them by email. Currently, some free juornals are uspported, such as BMJ, CMAJ and most BioMedCentral journals.
