PubMed Web Clipper Template

I’m pretty much new here so please have mercy… :wink:
After setting up my first vault I’m starting to sort stuff into it… Web Clipper really helps a lot.
I made a template for PubMed imports. Maybe it is off interest for some of you. It’s far from perfect (PubMed data really is a mess) but should handle reasonably well. Disclaimer: I’m not trying to replicate all of the PubMed data. I just want some kind of reference for later.

I’m glad it’s of help.

Searching for literature on PubMed can be quite complex, especially when trying to refine queries or find specific papers efficiently. Maybe you can try PubMed.ai. It simplifies PubMed searches, helps optimize queries, and even generates summaries of key research so you can focus on what matters most.
