Abstract

IndMED is an online bibliographic tool for indexing Indian Biomedical Journals. It was conceived to fill up the gaps of reporting medical research from India by major indexing tools in the field like MEDLINE. 75 Indian Bio-Medical journals were selected by a committee to be covered in IndMED. A suitable database structure was adopted based on International Standards. Suitable back-end and front end were developed to publish it on the web. It is available from Internet free of cost. Along with the bibliographic details of the articles it also provides links to the source journals on the web if any.
