Bringing Web 2.0 to Pubmed, GoPubMed provides a new slice’em and dice’em approach to searching. Instantly showing information about:
- What - references retrieved, what terms have been used to describe them and the quantity used, incredibly simple to use to narrow a search down to relevant material
- Who - who’s writing on the subject searches and in what quantity
- Where - what’s the geography of the material retrieved like
- When - when was material published
This is all done quickly and effectively and is impressive for finding material of relevance.
The feature that’ll be a Fade favourite is the statistical data on retrieved results that can be displayed. This gives an overview of the literature located by a search by detailing information on:
- Top indexing terms
- Top authors
- Top countries of publication
- Top cities of publication
- Top journal titles material was published in
- Top years of publication
- Quantity of publications over time
- World map of the geography of citations located
There are features allowing you to assess the relevance of data mined terms if you become a curator at this service (not a painful process it just requires you to supply an email address) to help train the ontology-based search algorithms used here. Maybe for later……
