A Biologist-Friendly Interface for Enhanced PubMed Search

Accepted Manuscript
Bioinformatics advance access

PubMed Assistant is a stand-alone Java™ program that helps biologists and medical workers get the most out of PubMed search.

	Want to use advanced Boolean queries (example) to get some "quality" hits of manageable size, but don't want to spend half an hour to balance the parentheses?
	Tired of switching back and forth between PubMed's search result page and abstract pages?
	Hate to manually type the citations of interest into your favorite citation manager (ProCite, EndNote, Reference Manager, etc.)?

Look no further. PubMed Assistant is right for you!
