The ((PMID)) template is used to create a link from a PMID codes for life sciences and biomedical articles to PubMed.
Example:
((PMID|4957203))
→ PMID 4957203PMID 4957203
→ PMID 4957203PMID:4957203
→ PMID:4957203PubMed 4957203
→ PubMed 4957203If multiple PMIDs need to be listed in a row (for example in a table), this can be accomplished using the multiple template arguments.
((PMID|id1|id2|id3|id4|...))
Example (with "," as default leadout):
results in:
Example (with "and" as leadout):
results in:
A single PMID can also be included in templates such as the Citation Style 1 series by means of the |pmid=
parameter. Integer values starting at 1
are allowed.
The linking is done internally to the template using a module or a subtemplate. The "PMID" string links to the article "PubMed", and the PMID number links to the PubMed article with that number.
