Pubreminer: a tool for PubMed query building and literature mining.
In the vast amounts if medical literature, finding information tailored to
your
needs and interest is becoming more and more complex. Using the right
keywords
is essential for effective searches, but which ones should you use?
Pubreminer is a web-based tool that allows simple text-based query
building
and information gathering(mining) of the NCBI literature search engine
PubMed.
Pub re-miner presents its results, gathered from abstracts, in frequency
tables
of journals, authors and words, which can be included/excluded in an
iterative
fa****on.
Next to building efficient queries, Pubreminer can also be helpful in
other
areas:
*Selecting a journal for your current work (by scanning the most often
used
journals of similar research)
*Finding experts in a research area (by viewing the authors associated
with
your query)
*Determine the research interest of an author (by viewing the keywords
associated with an author)
