    MEDSUM is a very recent, free webtool offering a literature-summary interface to PubMed/MEDLINE searches. Authors, journals or topics can be entered in the search bar and then clicking one of the four buttons will summarise the literature search in different ways.

    The "PROFILE" button generates top 10 authors, top 10 journals, animals:humans research ratio, age profiles of populations used, MeSH categories, etc. The "Timeline" buttons allows any search to be quickly broken down into number of publications per year starting in the current year and working back; it is particularly useful for analysing trends in huge topic areas (such as "schizophrenia" or "MRI") with thousands to millions of records. Generated tables can be copy-and-pasted into Excel to make graphs of the growth of any domain of literature or any specific term. These buttons and others are all explained, with examples and tips, on MEDSUM's tutorial page.

    We hope you enjoy it!
