PubMed is a database created by the National Library of Medicine to facilitate searching the biomedical literature. The MEDLINE databases found within PubMed contains journals that have been reviewed by a panel of experts for quality. PubMed also contains PMC, which contains publicly accessible literature that have not necessarily gone through the same review process.

Web of Science
Web of Science is a great database for journal articles in the biomedical sciences. In addition to different search features, it includes lists of citing and cited articles, times cited counts, and analysis tools.
