Health Sciences Librarians' Engagement in Open Science: A Health sciences librarians’ engagement in open science: A scoping review Project Team: Dean Giustini Kevin Read Ariel Deardorff Lisa Federer Melissa Rethlefsen MLA Annual Conference, May 2021 Health sciences librarians’ engagement in open science: A scoping review Objectives: To identify health sciences librarians’ (HSLs) engagement in open science (OS) through the delivery of library services, support, and programs for researchers. Methods: We performed a scoping review guided by Arksey and O’Malley’s (2005) framework and Joanna Briggs’ Manual for scoping reviews. Our search methods consisted of searching five databases (MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, LISTA, and Web of Science Core Collection), tracking citations, contacting experts, and targeted web searching. We used Zotero to manage citations, and Covidence for screening. To determine study eligibility, we applied predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria, achieving consensus among reviewers when there was disagreement. Finally, we extracted data in duplicate and performed qualitative analysis to map key themes. Results & discussion HSL Open Science Scoping Review / Giustini, Read, Deardorff, Federer, Rethlefsen / MLA ‘21 Health sciences librarians’ engagement in open science: A scoping review Results: We identified 54 included studies (after reviewing 8173 citations / 319 full text studies). Research methods included descriptive or narrative approaches (76%), surveys, questionnaires and interviews (15%) or mixed methods (9%). Using FOSTER’s Open Science Taxonomy, we labeled studies using six themes: open access (54%), open data (43%), open science (24%), and open education, open source and citizen science (17%). Key drivers in OS were scientific integrity and transparency, openness as a guiding principle, and funder mandates making research openly-accessible. HSLs engaged in OS advocacy and most examples came from academic institutions. HSLs assumed key roles by advocating for and promoting OS, and by collaborating on policy development, especially in OA and open data support. Conclusions: HSLs play key roles in advancing OS worldwide. However, formal studies are needed to assess impact of HSLs in OS to determine best practices. Future studies should identify researchers’ needs, and evaluate library service models. HSLs should promote broader adoption of OS within their research communities, and develop strategic plans aligned with institutional partners. Further, HSLs can promote OS by adopting more rigorous and transparent research practices of their own. Future research should consider examining HSLs’ engagement in OS through social justice and equity perspectives.

  • Biomedical Text Mining: a Survey of Recent Progress
    Chapter 14 BIOMEDICAL TEXT MINING: A SURVEY OF RECENT PROGRESS Matthew S. Simpson Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communications United States National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health [email protected] Dina Demner-Fushman Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communications United States National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health [email protected] Abstract The biomedical community makes extensive use of text mining tech- nology. In the past several years, enormous progress has been made in developing tools and methods, and the community has been witness to some exciting developments. Although the state of the community is regularly reviewed, the sheer volume of work related to biomedical text mining and the rapid pace in which progress continues to be made make this a worthwhile, if not necessary, endeavor. This chapter pro- vides a brief overview of the current state of text mining in the biomed- ical domain. Emphasis is placed on the resources and tools available to biomedical researchers and practitioners, as well as the major text mining tasks of interest to the community. These tasks include the recognition of explicit facts from biomedical literature, the discovery of previously unknown or implicit facts, document summarization, and question answering. For each topic, its basic challenges and methods are outlined and recent and influential work is reviewed.

  • Information-Seeking Behavior in Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM): an Online Survey of Faculty at a Health Sciences Campus*
    Information-seeking behavior in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM): an online survey of faculty at a health sciences campus* By David J. Owen, M.L.S., Ph.D. [email protected] Education Coordinator, Basic Sciences Min-Lin E. Fang, M.L.I.S. [email protected] Information Services Librarian Kalmanovitz Library and Center for Knowledge Management University of California, San Francisco San Francisco, California 94143-0840 Background: The amount of reliable information available for complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is limited, and few authoritative resources are available. Objective: The objective is to investigate the information-seeking behavior of health professionals seeking CAM information. Methods: Data were gathered using a Web-based questionnaire made available to health sciences faculty af®liated with the University of California, San Francisco. Results: The areas of greatest interest were herbal medicine (67%), relaxation exercises (53%), and acupuncture (52%). About half the respondents perceived their CAM searches as being only partially successful. Eighty-two percent rated MEDLINE as a useful resource, 46% personal contacts with colleagues, 46% the Web, 40% journals, and 20% textbooks. Books and databases most frequently cited as useful had information about herbs. The largest group of respondents was in internal medicine (26%), though 15% identi®ed their specialties as psychiatry, psychology, behavioral medicine, or addiction medicine. There was no correlation between specialty and patterns of information- seeking behavior. Sixty-six percent expressed an interest in learning more about CAM resources. Conclusions: Health professionals are frequently unable to locate the CAM information they need, and the majority have little knowledge of existing CAM resources, relying instead on MEDLINE.

  • 1 Application of Text Mining to Biomedical Knowledge Extraction: Analyzing Clinical Narratives and Medical Literature
    Amy Neustein, S. Sagar Imambi, Mário Rodrigues, António Teixeira and Liliana Ferreira 1 Application of text mining to biomedical knowledge extraction: analyzing clinical narratives and medical literature Abstract: One of the tools that can aid researchers and clinicians in coping with the surfeit of biomedical information is text mining. In this chapter, we explore how text mining is used to perform biomedical knowledge extraction. By describing its main phases, we show how text mining can be used to obtain relevant information from vast online databases of health science literature and patients’ electronic health records. In so doing, we describe the workings of the four phases of biomedical knowledge extraction using text mining (text gathering, text preprocessing, text analysis, and presentation) entailed in retrieval of the sought information with a high accuracy rate. The chapter also includes an in depth analysis of the differences between clinical text found in electronic health records and biomedical text found in online journals, books, and conference papers, as well as a presentation of various text mining tools that have been developed in both university and commercial settings. 1.1 Introduction The corpus of biomedical information is growing very rapidly. New and useful results appear every day in research publications, from journal articles to book chapters to workshop and conference proceedings. Many of these publications are available online through journal citation databases such as Medline – a subset of the PubMed interface that enables access to Medline publications – which is among the largest and most well-known online databases for indexing profes- sional literature. Such databases and their associated search engines contain important research work in the biological and medical domain, including recent findings pertaining to diseases, symptoms, and medications.

  • Document Clustering of Medline Abstracts for Concept Discovery in Molecular Biology
    Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing 6:384-395 (2001) TEXTQUEST: DOCUMENT CLUSTERING OF MEDLINE ABSTRACTS FOR CONCEPT DISCOVERY IN MOLECULAR BIOLOGY I. ILIOPOULOS, A. J. ENRIGHT, C. A. OUZOUNIS Computational Genomics Group, The European Bioinformatics Institute, EMBL Cambridge Outstation, Cambridge CB10 1SD, UK {ioannis, anton, christos}@ebi.ac.uk We present an algorithm for large-scale document clustering of biological text, obtained from Medline abstracts. The algorithm is based on statistical treatment of terms, stemming, the idea of a ‘go-list’, unsupervised machine learning and graph layout optimization. The method is flexible and robust, controlled by a small number of parameter values. Experiments show that the resulting document clusters are meaningful as assessed by cluster-specific terms. Despite the statistical nature of the approach, with minimal semantic analysis, the terms provide a shallow description of the document corpus and support concept discovery. 1. Introduction The vast accumulation of electronically available textual information has raised new challenges for information retrieval technology. The problem of content analysis was first introduced in the late 60’s [1]. Since then, a number of approaches have emerged in order to exploit free-text information from a variety of sources [2, 3]. In the fields of Biology and Medicine, abstracts are collected and maintained in Medline, a project supported by the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM)1. Medline constitutes a valuable resource that allows scientists to retrieve articles of interest, based on keyword searches. This query-based information retrieval is extremely useful but it only allows a limited exploitation of the knowledge available in biological abstracts.

Proteins are large, complex molecules that play many critical roles in the body. They do most of the work in cells and are required for the structure, function, and regulation of thebody’s tissues and organs. Proteins are made up of hundreds or thousands of smaller units called amino acids, which are attached to one another in long chains. There are 20 different types of amino acids that can be combined to make a protein. The sequence of amino acids determineseach protein’s unique 3-dimensional structure and its specific function. Aminoacids are coded by combinations of three DNA building blocks (nucleotides), determined by the sequence of genes. Proteins can be described according to their large range of functions in the body, listed inalphabetical order: Antibody. Antibodies bind to specific foreign particles, such as viruses and bacteria, to help protect the body. Example: Immunoglobulin G (IgG) (Figure 1) Enzyme.
