Lens report search queries
Search queries select for published journal articles that:
- have authors that are affiliated to either:
- the top 40 universities according to Leiden Ranking of scientific performance, or
- the top 40 pharma companies by research and development expenditure.
- have been published within a specified date range
- have a ‘field of study’ index that matches either:
- any from a list of key medical search terms to capture all relevant medical articles
- any from subgroups from a list of key medical search terms or ‘therapy areas’, allowing selection of medical journal articles that relate to certain sub-topics.
We used a combination of expert consultation and test search queries to define a list of key medical search terms and categorized these terms by therapy area.
Each query outputs open access rates, types and licences of relevant published articles in report charts.
