Identifying Claimed Knowledge Updates in Biomedical Research Articles
نویسندگان
چکیده
Key knowledge components of biological research papers are conveyed by structurally and rhetorically salient sentences that summarize the main findings of a particular experiment. In this article we define such sentences as Claimed Knowledge Updates (CKUs), and propose using them in text mining tasks. We provide evidence that CKUs convey the most important new factual information, and thus demonstrate that rhetorical salience is a systematic discourse structure indicator in biology articles along with structural salience. We assume that CKUs can be detected automatically with state-ofthe-art text analysis tools, and suggest some applications for presenting CKUs in knowledge bases and scientific browsing interfaces.

A brief review of plagiarism in medical scientific research papers [RETRACTED]
[THIS ARTICLE IS RETRACTED] Plagiarism refers to “adopting someone else’s words, work or ideas and passing them off as one’s own”. It is potentially considered as the most prevalent form of scientific dishonesty discovered in research papers. The present review aims to provide a thorough account of plagiarism to build awareness about all dimensions of plagiarism.The key...
متن کاملChallenges for extracting biomedical knowledge from full text
At present, most biomedical Information Retrieval and Extraction tools process abstracts rather than full-text articles. The increasing availability of full text will allow more knowledge to be extracted with greater reliability. To investigate the challenges of full-text processing, we manually annotated a corpus of cited articles from a Molecular Interaction Map (Kohn, 1999). Our analysis dem...
متن کاملUsing MEDLINE as a knowledge source for disambiguating abbreviations and acronyms in full-text biomedical journal articles
Biomedical abbreviations and acronyms are widely used in biomedical literature. Since many of them represent important content in biomedical literature, information retrieval and extraction benefits from identifying the meanings of those terms. On the other hand, many abbreviations and acronyms are ambiguous, it would be important to map them to their full forms, which ultimately represent the ...

متن کاملThematic series on biomedical ontologies in JBMS: challenges and new directions
Over the past 15 years, the biomedical research community has increased its efforts to produce ontologies encoding biomedical knowledge, and to provide the corresponding infrastructure to maintain them. As ontologies are becoming a central part of biological and biomedical research, a communication channel to publish frequent updates and latest developments on them would be an advantage. Here, ...
