AcademicLabs vs PubMed
PubMed is a free search engine accessing primarily the MEDLINE database of references and abstracts on life sciences and biomedical topics.
Here's what our users say:
"Goodbye PubMed...after 20 years I switched to a platform that not only allows me to find the right publications faster, it simply has everything I need in one place (incl. PubMed publications). From the most extensive author profiles to newly funded projects and ongoing research, patents, clinical trials, startups and big pharma research activities."
