HOW EMBASE DELIVERS VALUE
9
Very powerful Search
Environment
...by including literature and information resources in a timely manner
...by reading full-text to identify drugs, diseases, adverse affects,
clinical trials, drug trade names etc.
...by enabling advanced search filters to drill down a comprehensive search to a
relevant and manageable record set
Scientific Journals
In Press (unpublished)
...by allowing users to automate searching and result management
E-mail Alerting API Interoperability
Deep indexing using own taxonomy (EMTREE)
We make sure you don’t miss any
biomedical literature
They only close alternative is reading
all the articles
Good precision and recall balance
Automation and documentation

• Systematic reviews of the (biomedical) literature
• Health Technology Assessments or rapid advisories
• Comparative Effectiveness Reviews
• Post-market surveillance and / or clinical evaluations for Medical Devices
• Comprehensive ‘scanning/monitoring’ literature for drug adverse effects, emerging public health threats, off-label drug use, efficacy, medication errors, drug-drug interactions, abuse and misuse, quality complaints, counterfeiting, inaccurate or inappropriate statements on drugs and devices in data. Common heading could be Pharmacovigilance.
• If users have a more ‘general’ research need – Scopus for example is a great solution.

• How current is Embase. Does it have AIP and In Process for example?
• Where do conference abstracts come from?
• Is all of MEDLINE in Embase? Therefore do I NOT need to search both? Check out our Embase/MEDLINE and differences between Emtree/MeSH white paper
• Why do I need indexing?

2. EXPANDTo expose and summarize the information in biomedical articles beyond title and abstract: discovering in-depth data about drugs, diseases and medical devices
1. TRANSLATETo bring the semantic richness of medical terminology within your grasp: mapping many synonyms to a single (natural language) preferred terminology
3. FOCUSTo identify the key concepts hidden within those articles – what they are really about – providing you with a toolkit to find answers beginning with comprehensive searches
INDEXING
![Page 16: Embase: Tips and tricks for trainers - Webinar, 27 Nov 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062705/556c9fd1d8b42a44468b4ab8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

INDEXING
MEDLINE INDEXING IS MAPPED TO EMTREE TERMSSEE WHITE PAPER: COVERAGE OF MEDLINE ON EMBASE
“When MeSH terms are mapped to Emtree,
subheadings are mapped to Embase subheadings.
Since not all MeSH subheadings have an exact Emtree equivalent, some of them generate Emtree terms
rather than subheadings.”

types do you need to
cover?
How will you find
the best terms –
comprehensive/

Do you need to limit to
specific years, age groups
or specific studies? Are
there specific subheading
for drugs and diseases?
