Quick answer
Atypon PubMed integration means using Atypon’s Literatum platform to supply the structured metadata and access signals (validated XML, entitlement checks, and discovery links) that PubMed and related services need so researchers can find and reach your full text.
How Atypon supports PubMed and discovery workflows
- Structured metadata: Publishers export JATS/MEDLINE-style XML or other validated metadata for indexing and deposits.
- Entitlement checks: Atypon can answer access queries so discovery tools know whether to link to full text or an abstract.
- Discovery indicators: Atypon supports integration with discovery features (GetFTR/LinkOut style workflows) so results show a reliable “get full text” signal routing readers to the correct article page.
- HTML-first delivery: Atypon’s HTML/eReader outputs (AXEL) improve accessibility and on-site reading while XML handles the indexing requirements.
Practical publisher checklist
- Confirm whether your journal is indexed and what NLM/PubMed requires for deposits.
- Produce and validate JATS/MEDLINE XML for article metadata.
- Enable entitlement APIs or responses so discovery services can determine access.
- Register and test your discovery links so users reach the correct full-text landing page.
- Provide accessible HTML (AXEL/eReader) alongside XML to improve reader experience.
- Monitor referral traffic from PubMed and discovery services to validate the integration.
Benefits of integrating Atypon with PubMed
- Faster discoverability: Proper indexing and LinkOut/GetFTR indicators send traffic directly to your site.
- Better user experience: HTML-first content and eReader features improve reading, accessibility, and on-site engagement.
- Clear entitlement handling: Accurate access checks reduce user friction and improve conversion from discovery to reading. atypon.com
Common pitfalls
- Missing or invalid XML prevents indexing.
- Entitlement misconfigurations lead discovery tools to link only to abstracts.
- Inconsistent page formats (PDF-only vs. HTML) can reduce discoverability and accessibility.
How iPost complements Atypon + PubMed
Once Atypon reliably exposes full-text pages and feeds, iPost can pull eTOC/DOI feeds to create curated, monetizable email campaigns that drive readers back to the PubMed-indexed pages.
This closes the loop: discovery → publisher page → targeted engagement and revenue.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Atypon automatically deposit content into PubMed?
A: No. Publishers must provide validated XML and follow PubMed/NLM submission procedures; Atypon supplies the tooling and APIs to support those workflows.
Will HTML/eReader replace XML for indexing?
A: No. HTML improves UX and accessibility, but structured XML remains the primary vehicle for indexing and deposit.
How do I confirm discovery links work?
A: Test entitlement responses and follow a discovery result through to the article landing page, then monitor referral metrics.
