What is Information Retrieval?

Querying against a database (a set of

documents) to find a subset of "relevant" documents .

When you need IR?

DESIAGN? METHOD? ANALYSIS? COMPARE?

Now we need a set of papers about

DNA barcoding research in India.

How to search using BP?

TRY IT!
Now we found 19 papers about DNA

barcoding research in India. Are there meeting papers ? If I want to filter out papers about DNA barcoding on mammalian , how to do with BPs ANALYZE RESULTS feature

Search field: major concept

When to use it?

for broad search, a not so specific subject.

How to use it?

find proper concept which can cover your subject in major concept table do document search with your concept term

Broad topic Dental Medicine

cardiology

Specific topic Periodontitis

Myocardial infarction Anti-inflammatory aspirin drugs
