Collaborative development of the Arrowsmith two node search interface designed for laboratory investigators

摘要

Arrowsmith is a unique computer-assisted strategy designed to assist investigators in detecting biologically-relevant connections between two disparate sets of articles in Medline. This paper describes how an inter-institutional consortium of neuroscientists used the UIC Arrowsmith web interface http://arrowsmith.psych.uic.edu webcite in their daily work and guided the development, refinement and expansion of the system into a suite of tools intended for use by the wider scientific community.
