A Similarity Metric, Rubric and Unified Hierarchy for Biomedical Publication Types and Study Designs
The similarity metric has the potential to improve the modeling, implementation and evaluation of automated indexing systems. The PT rubric provides an overview that complements the existing NIH MeSH Hierarchy trees, and the unified hierarchy permits proper automated expansion for PT indexing and PubMed user queries involving PT terms.
