The MEDLINE file contains bibliographic citations and author abstracts from approximately 3,900 current biomedical journals published in the United States and 70 foreign countries. The file contains approximately 10 million records dating back to 1966. Coverage is worldwide, but most records are from English-language sources or have English abstracts.
