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."

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.
