PubMed and HighWire Press are both useful medical literature search engines available for free to anyone on the internet. We measured retrieval accuracy, number of results generated, retrieval speed, features and search tools on HighWire Press and PubMed using the quick search features of each. We found that using HighWire Press resulted in a higher likelihood of retrieving the desired article and higher number of search results than the same search on PubMed. PubMed was faster than HighWire Press in delivering search results regardless of search settings. There are considerable differences in search features between these two search engines.
PubMed和HighWire Press都是有用的医学文献搜索引擎，互联网上任何人都可以免费使用。我们使用每个搜索引擎的快速搜索功能，对HighWire Press和PubMed的检索准确性、生成的结果数量、检索速度、功能和搜索工具进行了测量。我们发现，与在PubMed上进行相同搜索相比，使用HighWire Press检索到所需文章的可能性更高，搜索结果数量也更多。无论搜索设置如何，PubMed在提供搜索结果方面都比HighWire Press更快。这两个搜索引擎在搜索功能上存在相当大的差异。
