Congress Abstracts, News & Proceedings
This free-to-use Bibliography uses an Indexing Thesaurus of about 60 broad-spectrum topics of Medicine and Life Sciences to make the Sources where Congress Abstracts, News & Proceedings are published, available to the user.
Searching for a congress report on a given subject on PubMed will not give valid results unless the user was very familiar with MeSH indexing methods.
I did it the backward way, first, anything which matches an extended search term retrieving any record of a possible congress report ist indexed manually matching 1-5 topics like 'Oncology' or 'Nephrology'. The resulting static web-page is generated automatically by self-written software. Records printed bold have abstracts/proceedings, printed normal have not.
Here is the resulting web-page showing all reports. (about 1/3 of 2010 is done: much will follow)
This is the structure of the thesaurus as to retrieve a topic. I tried to sort the unsortable, here is the draft. Could say, sorted by similarity of subject.
