Publications search optimization: Comparison of a homegrown—API approach versus manual publication searches at an NCI designated cancer center

One measure of research productivity within the University of Kansas Cancer Center (KU Cancer Center) is peer-reviewed publications. Considerable effort goes into searching, capturing, reviewing, storing, and reporting cancer-relevant publications. Traditionally, the method of gathering relevant inf...

Popis
Shrnutí:One measure of research productivity within the University of Kansas Cancer Center (KU Cancer Center) is peer-reviewed publications. Considerable effort goes into searching, capturing, reviewing, storing, and reporting cancer-relevant publications. Traditionally, the method of gathering relevant information to the publications is done manually. This manuscript describes the efforts to transition KU Cancer Center’s publication gathering process from a heavily manual to a more automated and efficient process. To achieve this transition in the most customized and cost-effective manner, a homegrown, automated system was developed using open source API among other software. When comparing the automated and the manual processes over several years of data, publication search and retrieval time dropped from an average of 59 h to 35 min, which would amount to a cost savings of several thousand dollars per year. The development and adoption of an automated publications search process can offer research centers great potential for less-error prone results with a savings in time and cost.
