From Google's English: "The German National Library of Medicine ( #ZBMed) has announced its intention to create an "open, reliable, and sustainable alternative" to the #PubMed database, one of the most important and comprehensive resources for biomedical literature worldwide. The meta-database, with references to relevant articles and over 38 million citations, is operated by the National Library of Medicine ( #NLM), a division of the National Institutes of Health ( #NIH) in the United States. ZB Med is responding to concerns that the US administration under Donald Trump is cutting funding for the NIH. There are also fears that political influences could compromise PubMed's scientific integrity."

It's #LibraryWeek and I wanna help the National Library of Medicine ( #NLM) improve its metadata and user experience by suggesting a switch from hyperlinking to search results from an author's name to the author's ORCID in how the name is displayed in the PubMed record. For instance, clicking on 'Christopher Marcum' in this paper's author list returns a list of my pubs even though I am not the Christopher Marcum you are looking for #jedimindtrick :
