PubMed, one of the most important databases in biomedical research, is an information infrastructure publicly funded by the US government. It is impossible to estimate to what extent this service can still be maintained under the current circumstances.
It is therefore very important to strengthen European information structures. The ZB Med, as a supra-regional information centre in the field of life sciences, is currently developing an alternative to PubMed. A first step has already been taken: the content currently available on PubMed has been secured and can be searched and accessed via LIVIVO (https://www.zbmed.de/recherchieren/livivo), the ZB Med’s search portal.
In addition, there are plans to take further steps to expand the infrastructure as part of a DFG-funded project.
