A Search Engine to Access PubMed Monolingual Subsets: Proof of Concept and Evaluation in French

Abstract

It is now possible to freely access biomedical literature using a practical search tool in French. This tool will be of particular interest for health professionals and other end users who do not read or query sufficiently in English. The information system is theoretically well suited to expand the approach to other European languages, such as German, Spanish, Norwegian, and Portuguese.
