Text Mining to Identify Emerging Trends in Pancreatic Cancer Literature

Presented by

Dr. Eric GIlbert, Professional Services

About this talk

Text mining is one way to analyze emerging trends in research literature. Here we show how Elsevier’s text mining tool can be used to identify emerging trends using pancreatic cancer as an example. Firstly, trending taxonomy terms are identified by fitting a regression line to the normalized quarterly counts of publications in which the term is found. Then regression parameters are used to filter for terms that have the greatest fold change in publication counts over the time period. The workflow describing the capturing of trending terms will be described in detail. Several captured terms will be highlighted to demonstrate the insights that can be gained in this type of analysis.
