Europe PMC (https://europepmc.org) is a database of research articles, including peer reviewed full text articles and abstracts, and preprints - all freely available for use via website, APIs and bulk download. This article outlines new developments since 2017 where work has focussed on three key areas: (i) Europe PMC has added to its core content to include life science preprint abstracts and a special collection of full text of COVID-19-related preprints. Europe PMC is unique as an aggregator of biomedical preprints alongside peer-reviewed articles, with over 180 000 preprints available to search. (ii) Europe PMC has significantly expanded its links to content related to the publications, such as links to Unpaywall, providing wider access to full text, preprint peer-review platforms, all major curated data resources in the life sciences, and experimental protocols. The redesigned Europe PMC website features the PubMed abstract and corresponding PMC full text merged into one article page; there is more evident and user-friendly navigation within articles and to related content, plus a figure browse feature. (iii) The expanded annotations platform offers ∼1.3 billion text mined biological terms and concepts sourced from 10 providers and over 40 global data resources.
欧洲 PMC（https://europepmc.org）是一个研究文章数据库，包括同行评审的全文文章和摘要，以及预印本 - 所有这些都可以通过网站、API 和批量下载免费使用。本文概述了自 2017 年以来的新发展，重点关注三个关键领域：（i）欧洲 PMC 增加了其核心内容，包括生命科学预印本摘要和 COVID-19 相关预印本的特藏。欧洲 PMC 是独一无二的，它是同行评审文章中生物医学预印本的聚合器，有超过 180000 个预印本可供搜索。（ii）欧洲 PMC 大大扩展了与出版物相关的内容链接，例如与 Unpaywall 的链接，为全文、预印本同行评审平台、生命科学的所有主要 curated 数据资源以及实验方案提供了更广泛的访问。重新设计的欧洲 PMC 网站将 PubMed 摘要和相应的 PMC 全文合并到一个文章页面中；文章内部和相关内容的导航更加明显和用户友好，还有一个图表浏览功能。（iii）扩展的注释平台提供了来自 10 个供应商和 40 多个全球数据资源的约 13 亿个文本挖掘的生物术语和概念。
