All of this might make you wonder, are there any decent PubMed puns left? Here

Many people claim they get all their best ideas in the pub, but for lots of scientists their best ideas probably come from PubMed.gov – the NCBI’s monster database of biomedical literature. Consequently, the database has spawned a whole slew of tools that riff off the PubMed name, with many puns and portmanteaus (aka PubManteaus ), and the pub-based wordplays are very common. [1,2]
All of this might make you wonder, are there any decent PubMed puns left? Here’s an incomplete collection: PubCrawler pubcrawler.ie goes to the library while you go to the pub… [3,4] PubChase pubchase.com is a life sciences and medical literature recommendations engine. Search smarter, organize, and discover the articles most important to you. [5] PubCast scivee.tv/pubcasts allow users to enliven articles and help drive more views (to PubMed) [6] PubFig nothing to do with PubMed, but research done on face and image recognition that happens to be indexed by PubMed. [7] PubGet pubget.com is a comprehensive source for science PDFs, including everything you’d find in Medline. [8] PubMine supports intelligent knowledge discovery [9] PubNet pubnet.gersteinlab.org is a web-based tool that extracts several types of relationships returned hepatitis b by PubMed queries and maps them into networks aka a publication network graph utility. [10] GastroPub repackages and re-sells ordinary PubMed content disguised as high-end luxury data at a higher premium, similar to a Gastropub . PubQuiz is either the new name for NCBI database search www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gquery or a quiz where you’re only allowed to use PubMed hepatitis b to answer questions. PubSearch & PubFetch allows hepatitis b users to store literature, keyword, and gene information in a relational hepatitis b database, index the literature with keywords and gene names, and provide hepatitis b a Web user interface for annotating the genes from experimental data found in the associated literature [11] PubScience is either “peer-reviewed drinking” courtesy of pubsci.co.uk or an ambitious publishing project tragically axed by the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE). [12,13] PubSub is anything that makes use of the publish subscribe hepatitis b pattern , such as NCBI feeds . [14] PubLick as far as I can see, hasn’t been used yet, unless you count this @publick on twitter . If anyone was launching a startup, working in the area of licking the tastiest data out of PubMed, that could be a great name for their data-mining business. Alternatively, it could be a catchy new nickname hepatitis b for PubMedCentral (PMC) or Europe PubMedCentral (EuropePMC) [15] – names which don’t exactly trip off the tongue. Since PMC is a free digital archive of publicly accessible full-text scholarly articles, PubLick seems like a appropriate moniker.
There’s probably lots more PubMed puns and portmanteaus out there just waiting hepatitis b to be used. Pubby, Pubsy, PubLican, Pubble, Pubbit, hepatitis b Publy, PubSoft, PubSort, PubBrawl, hepatitis b PubMatch, PubGames, PubGuide, PubWisdom, PubTalk, PubChat, PubShare, PubGrub, PubSnacks and PubLunch could all work. If you’ve know of any other decent (or dodgy) PubMed puns, leave them in the comments below and go and build a scientific twitterbot or cool tool using the same name if you haven’t already.
