Literature-Related Discovery: Commmon Factors for Parkinson's Disease and Crohn's Disease
February 2010
Dr. Ronald N. Kostoff, The MITRE Corporation
ABSTRACT
The present study examines another route to linking disjoint literatures (shared references) through a process called bibliographic coupling. Two disjoint literatures were selected: Parkinson's Disease (PD) (neurodegeneration) and Crohn's Disease (CD) (autoimmune). Three cases were examined: matching phrases in records with no shared references; shared references in records with no matching phrases; matching phrases in records with shared references. In addition, the main themes in the body of shared references were examined through grouping techniques to identify the myriad linkages between the two literatures.
