I don't know about others but the lack of spaces in Medline abstracts downloaded from HDAS has long been a niggle of mine, where there is no space after the abstract subheadings. It looks very unprofessional in search reports. I contacted the NICE help desk about this. Response below.
"Our developer has looked into this for you and unfortunately, this is an issue with Medline. They provide HDAS with the abstracts, and they control the way it displays. We cannot control how it is formatted after it comes through the api to HDAS."
So I just have to put up with it or spend a lot of time inserting the spaces. Maybe set up a Find and Replace process.
Happy Friday.
