About NepMed

NepMed is a free full-text archive of biomedical and life sciences journal literature at the Nepal Health Research Council (NHRC). It includes links and full article information covering medicine, dentistry, nursing, pharmacy, dentistry, veterinary medicine, and allied health sciences.

NepMed is inspired by PubMed which is a free search engine accessing primarily the MEDLINE database of references and abstracts on life sciences and biomedical topics maintained by the United States National Library of Medicine (NLM) at the National Institutes of Health. NepMed has been developed according to the needs of our country. The inception of NepMed was in 2019, and now it has been functional since 2024.

The NepMed aims to provide a common platform for the ‘repository’ and ‘indexing’ of all Nepalese biomedical journals in Nepal. It also aims to ensure quality control in scientific publications by providing international standards and guidelines to improve medical journal publication in the country. This will, in turn, ensure quality control in academia, which will help improve local science.
