Machine Learning in Healthcare – Subject Searching and Citation Tracing

Subject Search:
I chose the Nursing subject and then the Nursing Research Guide. Within the Nursing Research Guide, I chose the Nursing & Allied Health Database (Proquest). I conducted my search using the terms machine learning AND healthcare. The search returned 4,692 results with both “Full Text” and “Peer Reviewed” selected. I also narrowed my search to articles posted within the last five years.

Backward Citation Trace
For the backward citation trace, I used the journal written by Kee and Ing. This journal is in the ProQuest database so it has the “References” tab mentioned in the video. It had 56 references and was cited by five other journals. I then went back to the Forsyth Library home page. In the search everything bar, I put my full title in quotes, “High-performance medicine: The convergence of human and artificial intelligence”, and it found my article. I also tried going to Collections, then E-Journals, and searching by title in quotes in that search bar, but it did not return my article. I removed the quotes from the title, tried the search again, and it was able to find my article.

One thought on “Machine Learning in Healthcare – Subject Searching and Citation Tracing

  1. It looks like you have a pretty solid search going here. It would have been nice to see the number of results after further searches.
    Also, did you find subject searching to give you more useful/productive results, or was regular searching better?
