In this 2016 journal article published in Journal of Cheminformatics, Alperin et al. present the fruits of their labor in an attempt to " to develop, test and assess a methodology" for both extracting and categorizing words and terminology from chemistry-related PDFs, with the goal of being able to apply "textual analysis across document collections." They conclude that "[t]erminology spectrum retrieval may be used to perform various types of text analysis across document collections" as well as "to find out research trends and new concepts in the subject field by registering changes in terminology usage in the most rapidly developing areas of research."
A legal framework to support development and assessment of digital health services
Digital health services is an expanding force, empowering people to track and manage their health. However, it comes with cost and legal concerns, requiring a legal framework for the development and assessment of those services. In this 2016 paper appearing in JMIR Medical Informatics, Garrell et al. lay out such a framework based around Swedish law, though leaving room for the framework to be adapted to other regions of the world. They conclude that their framework "can be used in prospective evaluation of the relationship of a potential health-promoting digital service with the existing laws and regulations" of a particular region.

Many organizations decide to upgrade their LIMS to the latest version without fully exploring their options. While sometimes this upgrade can be easier, less time consuming, and less expensive than implementing a completely new LIMS, it is not always a clear-cut decision.One instance, a second server or a second lab ID?
Many laboratories have at least two or more individual laboratories in their company’s organization. These laboratories may be close together or across the country; They may fall under similar or much different regulatory environments; They may act as parts of a whole or as an individual laboratory, quite literally subbing out samples to sister laboratories much like they would to any sub-contract laboratory. Upon occasion, even simple communication via the internet may be sporadic. Each laboratory is unique in its organization and thus there are different answers as to what will fit a particular laboratory best when implementing a LIMS.The GAAIN Entity Mapper: An active-learning system for medical data mapping
In this 2016 article appearing in Frontiers in Neuroinformatics, Ashish et al. present GEM, "an intelligent software assistant for automated data mapping across different datasets or from a dataset to a common data model." Used for Alzheimer research though applicable to many other fields, the group concludes "[o]ur experimental evaluations demonstrate significant mapping accuracy improvements obtained with our approach, particularly by leveraging the detailed information synthesized for data dictionaries."
