Before taking the course of medical literature retrieval, I only knew a little bit about retrieval of relevant documents. Because I had checked several patents, I was quite familiar with patent retrieval. And I just finished taking the Zhejiang Province Level 3 computer network technology exam in the spring of 2007, and my understanding of network technology has increased a lot~
After taking the course of medical literature retrieval, I have improved my knowledge of Chinese and English retrieval. All have a certain degree of mastery. Let’s take my topic on the application of acrylic resin in the oral cavity as an example of my learning experience in medical literature retrieval.
The learning process is very hard, especially for people with my background. The foundation of information retrieval language and document classification is too weak, and the English level is not very good, so it is very, very difficult to learn. The world of information representation and information retrieval is so wonderful and vast. However, there is no shortcut. If you don’t understand, you just don’t understand. Just calm down and start from scratch.
1. First, let’s talk about the retrieval methods of relevant Chinese documents and publications.
Mainly check CA, Wanfang, VIP Chinese science and technology journal full-text databases, etc.
1. Keyword search
Acrylic resin, teeth, and oral cavity can be used as the same first-level words.
2. Subject retrieval (Subjects)
All documents in the database are divided into several topics according to characters, products, publication names, company names, disciplines and other characteristics.
3. Publications Search (Publications)
The documents are displayed in alphabetical order of publications. The content and starting point of the publication included in the database are indicated below the name of each journal. time.
4. Indexes (indexes)
Second, let’s talk about English retrieval. My English proficiency is relatively poor, and I am not very familiar with English search tools, so it is quite laborious to search for relevant information in English.
The main thing is to go to the Intelligence Bureau to check the abstracts of CA and GA.
1. Translate the subject words into English. The English word for acrylic resin is acrylic resin, and the English word for tooth is DENTAL
2. Check IG and check the subject words are acrylic poly and DENTAL
3. Check the index to get the abstract number
4. Search CS according to the abstract number to obtain the required abstracts
The above is my experience in learning medical literature retrieval. The process of retrieval and learning retrieval is also a process of improvement. I can find the needs through my own efforts. The joyful feeling cannot be expressed in words! I hope that when I do my graduation thesis in the future, I can find the required information quickly and accurately after getting the topic.
