When a journal currently indexed in MEDLINE becomes an electronic-only / online-only publication, it must adhere to the MEDLINE Policy on Indexing Electronic Journals. Additional information on this is available from the FAQ:MEDLINE Indexing Requirements for Electronic Journals. NLM will work with an electronic-only journal to ensure compliance with this policy so that the journal’s citations will continue to be found in MEDLINE/PubMed. If an electronic-only journal is not able to meet the policy requirements, the journal will no longer be indexed in MEDLINE prospectively.
