Will Elsevier index my article in PubMed?

For your manuscript to be indexed in PubMed, it would need to:

• Have been accepted for publication by an Elsevier journal which is indexed in PubMed.  To determine if the journal in which your article has been published is indexed in PubMed, please check the PubMed journals database by searching hereopens in new tab/window using the journal ISSN search function.   To find the ISSN, go to the journal homepage where it will be listed beneath the journal cover thumbnail at the top of the page on the right. If you don't know how to get to the journal homepage:

  • Search for the journal using the search box under 'Find by journal title' on the journal author's pageopens in new tab/window.
  • Use the search function on Elsevier.comopens in new tab/window and click on a journal title to be directed to the journal homepage.
    Optional: Save the journal homepage to your browser favorites for future reference.

If 'selected citations only' is shown under PubMed information, this means that only funded articles will be indexed in PubMed, based on the funding body indicated in the ‘Rights and Access’ form. If your article is not funded by a funding body that Elsevier has an agreement with, then your article will not be indexed in PubMed. You can find details of funding bodies that have current agreement with Elsevier hereopens in new tab/window. Please note that this may change in the future, if the journal is accepted for indexation by PubMed.
