Identifying Translational Science T1-T4 is qualitative, no consensus on precise definition. Can a bibliometric technique quantitatively identify translation? Weber GM. Identifying translational science within the triangle of biomedicine. J Transl Med May 24;11:126. doi: / Image from

Grant Lewison (2004) classifies articles based on whether their titles include one of 100 “basic” or 100 “clinical” keywords.
ACH Classification – Weber 2013 Based on MeSH terms assigned to articles “H”: Humans B (Human), M01 (Person) “A”: Animals B01 (Eukaryota) [except Human] “C”: Cells and Molecules A11 (Cells), B02 (Archaea), B03 (Bacteria), B04 (Viruses), G (Molecular Structures), G (Chemical Processes) If multiple terms then AC, AH, CH, ACH

Limitations NLM takes a year or more to assign MeSH terms to articles. Would the results be different using a commercial dataset? “H” category very large. Should there be a “P” category for health practice? Weber GM. Identifying translational science within the triangle of biomedicine. J Transl Med May 24;11:126. doi: /
