MeSH on Demand Update: How to Find Citations Related to Your Text
From the post:
In May 2014, NLM introduced MeSH on Demand, a Web-based tool that suggests MeSH terms from your text such as an abstract or grant summary up to 10,000 characters using the MTI (Medical Text Indexer) software. For more background information, see the article, MeSH on Demand Tool: An Easy Way to Identify Relevant MeSH Terms.
New Feature
A new MeSH on Demand feature displays the PubMed ID (PMID) for the top ten related citations in PubMed that were also used in computing the MeSH term recommendations.
To access this new feature start from the MeSH on Demand homepage (see Figure 1), add your text, such as a project summary, into the box labeled “Text to be Processed.” Then, click the “Find MeSH Terms” button.

A clever way to deal with the problem of a searcher not knowing the specialized vocabulary of an indexing system.
Have you seen this method used outside of MeSH?
