ABSTRACT

Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the coincidence between keywords of Journal of the Korean Society of Physical Medicine (JKSPM) and MeSH terms, a controlled vocabulary used in MEDLINE. Methods A total of 838 keywords used in 252 papers of JKSPM from Vol.1, No.1, 2006 to Vol.7, No.1,2012 were compared with MeSH terms. All of keywords are classified to three large categories; complete coincidence, incomplete coincidence, and complete incoincidence. Results The keywords in complete coincidence category were 183(21.8%), the keywords in incomplete coincidence category were 378(45.1%), and the keywords in complete incoincidence category were 277(33%). The most used keyword in complete coincidence category was 'stroke' and in complete incoincidence category was ‘balance’. The most used keyword matching entry terms in incomplete coincidence category was ‘elderly’. Conclusion The rate of complete coincidene of keywords with MeSH terms was not higher than the rates of incomplete coincidence and complete incoincidence. It is necessary to understand MeSH terms more accurately and specifically. The JKSPM should ask the authors to use MeSH terms as keyword when they submit the paper.
