Effective
database indexing allows your staff to spend more time solving problems and
less time searching.
We provide:
Comprehensive
indexing
of published and unpublished product literature, regulatory documents,
internal reports, images and other materials
Database
indexing using
customized or standard controlled vocabularies including MeSH (National
Library of Medicine's Medical Subject Headings) and MedDRA (Medical
Dictionary for Regulatory Activities)
Customization of standard
controlled vocabularies or de novo design of a vocabulary to better serve
your specific needs
Testing, training, and supervision of database
indexers
Ongoing quality control of database data entry and indexing
Can you afford to waste time searching or miss important data
concerning your products? Do you need to track a particular parameter
reported on your product and/or competitor agents that's often missing from
authors' abstracts or standard indexing?
A centralized collection of journal articles, regulatory documents, images
or internal reports has limited utility unless its content can be rapidly
and reliably retrieved. Indexing database content using a controlled
vocabulary comprising a defined set of terms decreases the time it takes
users to locate the information they need, ensures accurate retrieval, and
renders information from one group accessible to all other groups. Use of a
customized vocabulary facilitates retrieval of documents concerning your
specific interests, including published data which would otherwise be
difficult or impossible to identify.
We specialize in offsite indexing of biomedical databases for
pharmaceutical and biotech companies. We are familiar with the information
retrieval needs of different groups within a research & development
organization.
