Biomedical IT/text-mining Company Bioalma, Spain, has announced that novo|seek is now capable of executing full-text searches in all Open Access journals housed in PubMed Central. Novo|seek is an information extraction system for searching the published knowledge in biomedical literature.
Leveraging Bioalma's text mining capabilities, users can now extend beyond just the abstract to identify - for the first time - key information housed in the full-text article. By identifying key biomedical terms in the entire text, searches yield the most relevant research results. Additionally, by adding Open Access journals to the novo|seek universe of search targets, Bioalma is extending the number of searchable articles by an average of 1,000 new articles per day, or about 140,000 total new articles.
Open access rights to biomedical research is important as it goes beyond just free access to content, making distribution, copying and derivative work production possible. Free access only allows the individual to view the content, but not use it or share it, and it is not made available in public repositories. Novo|seek indexes biomedical literature with text mining technology built by Bioalma that identifies key biomedical terms taking into account external available data and contextual term information.
