BioMed Central partners with Quertle
BioMed Central, the world's largest open access publisher with over 200
peer-reviewed journals has teamed up with Quertle LLC to add over 60,000
published articles into the latest version of their innovative online
biomedical search tool.
"We are excited to introduce relationship-driven semantic searching of
full-text documents," said Jeffrey Saffer, Quertle's President. "In
doing so, it is natural for us to incorporate content from BioMed
Central, the pioneer of open access publishing. Their content is high
quality, covers a wide set of disciplines and will be of great interest
to our users."
Quertle's innovative semantic search approach provides a powerful new
tool to help researchers find the most relevant documents", said BioMed
Central's Managing Director, Matthew Cockerill, "The indexing of the
full text of BioMed Central's articles by Quertle is a great example of
how our open access policy maximizes the accessibility and
discoverability of research."

Notes to Editors:
1. BioMed Central (www.biomedcentral.com) is an STM (Science, Technology
and Medicine) publisher which has pioneered the open access publishing
model. All peer-reviewed research articles published by BioMed Central
are made immediately and freely accessible online, and are licensed to
allow redistribution and reuse. BioMed Central is part of Springer
Science+Business Media, a leading global publisher in the STM sector.
2. Quertle goes beyond simple term matching to identify the most salient
information in the literature. Using a combination of linguistic
methods, Quertle finds facts defined within documents, creating its own
database of nearly 200 million relationships, and is able to report the
ones that are relevant to your query. Quertle's approach is based on a
thorough understanding of biology and chemistry and was built from the
ground up to address the unique needs of researchers who depend upon
this technical literature.
