Subject: [Expertsearching] Yale MeSH Analyzer

Hi all,
As some of you might already know, we released a new tool at NAHSL'15 in October and are just getting the word out further.  Please share this with anyone who performs comprehensive database searching or supports systematic reviews.

The Yale MeSH Analyzer:   http://mesh.med.yale.edu/

We developed this tool in-house to simplify a process that we have long used as a best practice for major searches: creating a MeSH analysis grid to design and refine searches. A MeSH analysis grid helps us identify problems in a search strategy by showing how key articles are indexed in the MEDLINE database in an easy-to-scan tabular format. Creating a MeSH analysis grid manually is useful for search validation but time-consuming.

The Yale MeSH Analyzer removes the tediousness from the process by automatically retrieving the article metadata and formatting and generating a grid. Using the tool is easy: simply paste a list of up to 20 PMIDs into the text box and click "Go." You can delimit the PMIDs in any way you like, even pasting in a paragraph that includes text. The Analyzer will scan for PMIDs and attempt to retrieve article data from PubMed, creating a grid in either HTML or Excel for you to manipulate.  There are other customizable options, and you can install a browser button on your toolbar to do an analysis in one step.

You can then easily scan the grid and identify appropriate MesH terms, term variants, indexing consistency, and the reasons why some articles are retrieved and others are not (you all know this frustration!). This inevitably leads to fresh iterations of the search strategy to include new terms. In addition to MeSH terms, author-assigned keywords, article titles, and abstracts can be included in the analysis.

We hope that this tool helps you refine your searches and saves you time.

We would love to hear your feedback.
