Academic Search in Response to Major Scientific Events

In this paper, we look at the search behavior of users of an academic search engine and in particular, their query patterns following the occurrence of major scientific events. We select Nobel Prize announcements as major scientific events and observe how academic searchers behave in response to their occurrences. We have found unique trends for the academic searchers, which are different from ...

Identifying bioactivity events of small molecules from the scientific literature

The PhD work focused on the automatic extraction of small molecule bioactivity information from scientific literature, a topic that ultimately aims to contribute to the small molecule ontology ChEBI. The ChEBI ontology plays an important role in assisting biomedical research, but requires further expansion in order to improve the ability to interrelate and link ChEBI to other primary biological...

Disparity between best scientific evidence and cardiovascular events.

We read with great interest the article recently published in your journal about the impact of the type of hospital in the management of patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS)1 and your detailed discussion in an accompanying editorial.2 The register is simple and elegant, well designed, and reports that NSTEACS patients admitted to hospitals with available hem...

Towards a Cloud-Based Service for Maintaining and Analyzing Data About Scientific Events

We propose the new cloud-based service OpenResearch for managing and analyzing data about scientific events such as conferences and workshops in a persistent and reliable way. This includes data about scientific articles, participants, acceptance rates, submission numbers, impact values as well as organizational details such as program committees, chairs, fees and sponsoring. OpenResearch is a ...
