One of the main goals of a discovery platform is to connect medical researchers with the most relevant content for their search. Subject indexes in discovery can help achieve this.
Improves Relevancy
One of the main goals of a discovery platform is to connect users with the most relevant content for their research; subject indexes in discovery can help improve relevancy. Subject indexes contain highly detailed, controlled vocabularies, linking concepts with different terminology. A discovery platform like EBSCO Discovery Service Health™ includes complex mapping technology to connect and leverage controlled vocabulary (including MeSH), delivering the most relevant medical information to users.

Provides Quality
Subject indexes in discovery are only as good as their quality. A discovery service should utilize subject matter experts who perform quality checks on new topical subject headings for accuracy and appropriateness. In addition, continuous evaluation of indexing procedures and processes helps to avoid duplication or misspellings in subject headings, ultimately providing the best quality search experience in the discovery platform.
Delivers Depth
