Our Take
KoreaMed is the specialist gateway to Korean medical research — much of which is under-represented in PubMed — and its companion KoreaMed Synapse adds full text and citation linking, all free. For anyone researching Korean clinical or biomedical topics it fills a real gap. It’s national and biomedical in scope by design. Use it as the primary source for Korean medical literature; pair with KCI for the broader Korean scholarly record and PubMed for international coverage.
Power Tips
- Search KoreaMed for Korean biomedical journals that PubMed under-indexes, then use KoreaMed Synapse for full text and citations
- combine with KCI (in Web of Science) to frame Korean medical work within global citation context.
