NOVOSeek
|
novoseek is a biomedical search engine developed by BIOALMA for searching the published knowledge in biomedical literature.
novoseek indexes the biomedical literature from Medline, Full Text Publications from Open Access Journals in PubMedCentral and US grants for over 75 institutions including the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Science Foundation, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP) with a text mining technology that enables identification of the key biomedical terms. To do this unambiguous identification the technology takes into account external available data and contextual term information. As a result of this indexing technology novoseek is able to retrieve every document where a term is mentioned no matter the synonym used and discards those documents where the term is used with an unwanted meaning. |
