4. What is Information Retrieval?  Querying against a database (a set of documents) to find a subset of "relevant" documents.

5. When you need IR? DESIAGN? METHOD? ANALYSIS? COMPARE?

6. TOPIC? ANALYSIS? WRITE? PUBLICATION?

7. DIAGNOSIS? TREATMENT? BEST SURGERY? CONTRADICTION?

8. TOPIC? HISTORY? TREND? OPION?

9. I need Information, where is it?  Papers: journal paper, meeting paper  Dissertation  Monograph /textbook  Patent document  Database  … ….

10. v.148 n.6 March 16, 2012

41. Search fields in BP

42.  For explanation of these fields, please refer to the following web page: http://images.isiknowledge.com/help/B IOSIS/h_fullrec.html

43. Try it !  We know a paper written by N. PRADEEP KUMAR in 2012 was published on. Please find it using BP and try to download the full text.

45. TRY IT!  Now we need a set of papers about DNA barcoding research in India. How to search using BP?

47. TRY IT!  Now we found 19 papers about DNA barcoding research in India.  Are there meeting papers ?  If I want to filter out papers about DNA barcoding on mammalian, how to do with BP’s “ANALYZE RESULTS “feature

51. e.g. gene targeting used in studies concerning nerve system or neurology

52. Recall rate versus Accuracy #1 Title=("gene targeting" and (nerv* or neur*)) #2 Title=(gene targeting and (nerv* or neur*)) #3 Title=("gene targeting") AND Major Concepts=(nerv* or neur*) #4 Topic=("gene targeting" and (nerv* or neur*))

53. Search fields: Topic:  Search in the following fields: title, abstract, major concept etc.  Almost a full record search  A broad search

54. Search field: major concept  When to use it? for broad search, a not so specific subject.  How to use it? ① find proper concept which can cover your subject in major concept table ② do document search with your concept term

55. Broad topicSpecific topic Dental MedicinePeriodontitis cardiologyMyocardial infarction Anti-inflammatory drugs aspirin

67. Refine with text words = Search within results = Do second search

76. BP search exercises: Search documents on the following topics: 1 Methods or technique used for Hydrastis (or coptisine ) study 2 RNA interference ( or RNAi) used in breast neoplasm study Please try to refine your results by document type to see how many journal papers you get.

77. Outline  Overview of BIOSIS Previews  How to use BP ? Access to general search Processing your results Refine or analyze your results  Make better use of BP Advanced search--construct complicated query  Personalize BP

78. Ts=gene targeting and MC=(nerv* or neur*) and DS=neoplasm e.g. gene targeting used in studies concerning nerve system neoplasms Filed tag for Disease Data

79. Search exercise:  Search for journal or meeting papers on influenza A(H1N1) outbreak in U.S.A  Our qurey: #1 (TI=( influenza A and H1N1) or DS= =( influenza A and H1N1)) and GE=usa #2 refine or analyze our results by Document Type Filed tag for Geographic Data

81. BP search rules: phrase search Query : global warming you’ll get hits with global warming, …global climate change and ocean warming…  Query : “global warming” You’ll get hits with exact global warming

82. Operators: () SAME NOT AND OR  Leukemia or lymphoma and treatment not drug therapy  (Leukemia or lymphoma) and treatment not drug therapy

83. Operators: () SAME NOT AND OR  SAME Use SAME to find records where the terms separated by the operator appear in the same sentence. A sentence is defined as: the title of an article; a sentence in the abstract; a single address. Using the SAME operator instead of AND is a way to narrow your search.
