Bioinformatics. 2009 Apr 1;25(7):974-6. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btn033. Epub 2008 Mar 6.

Abstract

MiSearch is an adaptive biomedical literature search tool that ranks citations based on a statistical model for the likelihood that a user will choose to view them. Citation selections are automatically acquired during browsing and used to dynamically update a likelihood model that includes authorship, journal and PubMed indexing information. The user can optionally elect to include or exclude specific features and vary the importance of timeliness in the ranking.
