Most tables are derived from the MEDLINE XML files, parsed according to the MEDLINE®PubMed® XML Element Descriptions and their Attributes. The source column indicates the corresponding element in the MEDLINE XML. All elements other than those for the pmid_status table and the citation table are nested within the PubmedArticle element. "attr" indicates a named attribute in the XML, and "int position" indicates an integer to index each item in a list. The citation table is derived from the NIH Open Citation Collection.

dd = data.table::fread(system.file('extdata', 'data_dictionary.csv', package = 'pmparser'))
