AI and Text Mining for Searching and Screening the Literature

EndNote available to McGill useres from http://libraryguides.mcgill.ca/citation

EndNote allows you to calculate subject heading frequencies across a collection of records at an aggregated level. PubMed PubReMiner does this too, but only for MEDLINE, so EndNote is a good option for other databases such as Embase.

Procedure

These instructions follow the guidance provided by YHEC: EndNote for Frequency Analysis 

Export relevant records from PubMed, MEDLINE on Ovid, Embase on Ovid, or any other database that uses a controlled vocabulary (and includes that information in the data that is imported into EndNote in the keyword field in EndNote references).

To perform the frequency analysis:

• Go to Tools > Subject Bibliography
• Select Keywords from the list, tick the bottom box ("in other fields, list each entry that is separated by slash, carriage return or line feed. (Keyword entries are always listed separately") and click OK
• When you see the list of Subject Terms: Click on Select All and then click OK: This displays the terms and the number of records that contain them
• Select Output Style: Annotated
• Click Layout > Terms tab
  • Under Reference List: Select Subject Terms Only
  • Under Include: Subject Term Counts
  • Under Subject Term Layout: By Term Count - Descending
• Click OK

• Print or Save
