Screening articles for studies to include in systematic reviews is an application of technology-assisted review (“TAR”). In this work, we applied the Baseline Model Implementation (“BMI”) from the TREC Total Recall Track (2015-2016) to the CLEF eHealth 2017 task of screening MEDLINE abstracts to identify articles reporting studies to be considered for inclusion. According to rank-based evaluati...

BACKGROUND The abstract is the most frequently read section of a research article. The use of 'Consensus Abstracts', a clinician-oriented web application formatted for mobile devices to search MEDLINE/PubMed, for informing clinical decisions was proposed recently; however, inaccuracies between abstracts and the full-text article have been shown. Efforts have been made to improve quality. METH...

INTRODUCTION Empirical evidence has indicated that only a subsample of studies conducted reach full-text publication and this phenomenon has become known as publication bias. A form of publication bias is the selectively delayed full publication of conference abstracts. The objective of this article was to examine the publication status of oral abstracts and poster-presentation abstracts, inclu...

ing Services Recently Bennett (47) has reiterated my earlier recommendation that an index to the abstracts in specialty journals and to abstracts prepared by the smaller abstracting services be compiled (21). Frequently these are abstracts which include criticism. As such, they constitute original publications. Every author should know of such critical abstracts of his papers. In literature sea...

Reporting verbs (RVs) express varying degrees of alignment and evaluate the credibility merit reported claims in academic writing. This study aims to explore RVs’ tenses, frequencies, functions two major disciplines: hard science soft science. Consequently, specialised corpora were built from research article abstracts published 2021–2022. The corpus comprised 19,512 words; meanwhile, contained...
