Hi everyone,
I'm running a medical related search for a scoping review. We intend to search Scopus, and as I would typically do, I'm doing a search using the TITLE-ABS-KEY field code. However, we are getting a ton of stuff in Scopus that is not super relevant and appears to be largely due to the appearance of one or more of our terms (often 'chronic kidney disease') showing up in the Emtree index terms. Yet, when I look at the full text of these articles, they have pretty much nothing to do with CKD.
I'm just wondering if anyone has experience with EMBASE or EMTREE that could shed some light on the quality of the indexing and/or how that indexing is transferred to Scopus.
Many thanks!
Sarah
