To this end, propose framework categorize based on Based proposed classification scheme, quantify, analyze, present different types during last fifteen years. results show only about 25% correspond emerging concepts, whereas rest one or more existing descriptors, either implicitly explicitly. Most them single descriptor they usually end up as descendants it hierarchy, gradually leading toward fine-grained vocabulary. These insights dynamics useful retrospective study articles annotated with MeSH, but could also be inform policy updating future.
