“L'Archive ouverte UNIGE est un outil que l'Université met à disposition de ses chercheurs et enseignants afin de leur permettre de diffuser largement et gratuitement les résultats de leurs recherches (Open Access), et donc d'augmenter leur visibilité ainsi que celle de l'institution.

“PubMed search results (Summary format) have until now displayed the citation with the author names first, followed by the title of the article and the source data. Author names - no matter how many - served as the link to the AbstractPlus format. To improve the look of the Web page as well as to make it easier to scan titles, the positions of author names and the title of the article have been reversed. The article title now displays on top and serves as the link to the AbstractPlus format. Author names appear under the title and the rest of the citation remains the same[…]”
