MEDLINE® Produced by the National Library of Medicine, MEDLINE provides extensive coverage of the world's biomedical journal literature. MEDLINE covers more than 4,000 journal titles and is international in scope. Broad coverage includes basic biomedical research and the clinical sciences since 1966 including nursing, dentistry, veterinary medicine, pharmacy, allied health, and pre-clinical sciences. MEDLINE also covers life sciences that are vital to biomedical practitioners, researchers, and educators, including some aspects of biology, environmental science, marine biology, plant and animal science as well as biophysics and chemistry. Increased coverage of life sciences began in 2000.		More...

PubMed PubMed provides access to bibliographic information, which is drawn primarily from MEDLINE, PreMEDLINE, HealthSTAR, as well as Publisher-Supplied citations. In addition, for electronically supplied journals that are indexed selectively for MEDLINE, and include articles unrelated to medicine or the life sciences, PubMed includes all articles from that journal, not just those that are included in MEDLINE. It is expected that access to additional NLM databases will be added in the future. PubMed also provides access and links to the integrated molecular biology databases included in NCBI's Entrez retrieval system. These databases contain DNA and protein sequences, 3-D protein structure data, population study data sets, and assemblies of complete genomes in an integrated system.
SCOPUS™ Scopus provides broad coverage of the sciences and social sciences, indexing 14,000 journals. Subjects covered include chemistry, biology, environmental science, mathematics, physics, engineering, health and life sciences, social sciences, psychology, and economics. Non-english journals are covered (must provide an abstract in English). Scopus also provides citation analysis (back to 1996, and eventually to expand to 1990). With registration for a personal account, Scopus can provide saved search functionality and email alerts.
