Live webinar: Systematic searching with Emtree

Next Wednesday, May 23, at 4 PM, there will be a free webinar about the Elsevier’s Embase thesaurus Emtree.

The life science thesaurus Emtree is a hierarchically structured, controlled vocabulary, for Biomedicine and related Life Sciences, providing a consistent description for Embase indexing.

•             It offers indexers a comprehensive vocabulary to describe the content of biomedical data;

•             For database users, it facilitates comprehensive searching and high precision retrieval.

Emtree has been used to index Embase (including Embase Classic) since 1947, and is unrivalled in its coverage of drug and medical terminology.

In this webinar, Embase Customer Care Representative Dr. Josephine Zimmermann will walk you through:

•             how Emtree is built-up and managed,

•             how we index a typical article,

•             how drugs, diseases and devices are indexed in Embase.

Register here to join the webinar; it will last one hour.
