Measures Of Novelty And Growth For Bibliometrics

This research work is aimed at identifying novel topics and ideas in a given PubMed record. It will identify topics and ideas using which MeSH terms and MeSH pairs, respectively for a given PubMed record are novel, hot and passé during the year of publication of that record. As a part of this research work a tool called Novelity will be developed which will focus on identifying MeSH terms among the Organism, Disease and Drug MeSH category are novel, hot and passé for the given PubMed record ID. The tool will also produce useful visualizations which will be helpful in identifying the growth of MeSH terms present in a given PubMed record. The tool will train piece wise regression models for identifying the curve of a given MeSH term.National Institute on Aging of the NIH , P01AG039347Directorate for Education & Human Resources of the NSF, 1348742unpublishednot peer reviewe
