Researchers and postgraduate students in biomedical engineering and medical informatics need to work with varied and complex sources of information, and require practical knowledge both on how to search data sources, and how to assess the quality and value of results. To do so, they need to be familiar with the information retrieval tools, techniques and terminology associated with information science. Information Sources for Biomedical Engineering and Medical Informatics presents the skills biomedical engineering researchers require in order to search for, retrieve, and assess relevant data and information in their field. The title provides solutions relating to documents, technical standards, dedicated institutions, specialized vocabularies, ontologies and terminologies. The book gives the techniques and tools required to identify and assess useful information resources in a complex scientific information ecosystem, including how to use advanced scientometric techniques.
