ABSTRACT
Personalized medicine involves decision making, based on patient-
specific information from various sources, toward the development
and application of treatments tailored to individual patients. This
process also requires expert knowledge, primarily and painstakingly
stored in the form of scientific publications. The biomedical
scientific literature is considered one of the most important sources
of such knowledge, if not themost important, in terms of the number
and type of information it contains. Consequently, it is an invaluable
support for personalized medicine researchers and practitioners in
the health sciences.
