Speaker(s): 

How can PubMed enhance your Scientific Database? While several modules available on drupal.org, however, there are additional possibilities to enhance PubMed / Drupal integration. We’ve explored various possibilities for improving upon current options with features such as:

- Using the ECitMatch utility to search for PubMed IDs matching a citation string

- Showing related publications by MeSH search terms

- Showing related publications by querying the ELink utility

We will also talk about using the retrieved MeSH terms in Drupal faceted search, and how PubMed fits into AlzPED’s overall strategy.
