Abstraction services for articles patents, books, news
Academic and scholarly literature has been growing at an exponential rate. Analysts believe the production of literature will double over the next few years as the COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated for more and more research.
Abstraction & Indexing services is the answer to manage this explosion of information. Today it becomes even more vital to incorporate A&I services that can improve precision in discipline-specific searching for expert researchers and boost the discoverability of journal articles. Indexes and abstracts add a human-curated layer to what computers can do.
Molecular Connections’ A&I services are technology-enabled and are curated by subject-matter experts who understand the subject area, and the resultant metadata captures the essence of the subject. Our proprietary machine-aided indexing technology delivers high-quality results in record time. Molecular Connections has been involved in abstracting & indexing for over two decades, helping publishers and organizations add immense value to well-known science databases.
Advantages of A&I over full-text search
- The degree of relevance is much higher compared to databases without A&I.
- Summarization is useful to many users who do not have time to read complete articles.
- Can enhance searchability and discoverability through key concepts, materials, substances, and keywords
- Saves research time and creates greater user engagement.

We support publishers and content aggregators in the following ways through our A&I services
Indicative Abstracts
Describes what the document indicates in terms of topic and methodology, without providing the key content present in the article.
Informative Abstracts
Provide a condensed view of the entire content in the full-text document, culling out the key topics and concepts covered
Structured Abstracts
Created in a structured format with pre-defined headings that truly represent the way the full text is organized
Enhanced Abstracts
Picks out the key knowledge points that are helpful for decision making using domain expertise and inferences.
Video Transcript Abstracts
Extracting transcripts representing the theme of the video
Conceptual Indexing
Indexing key ideas/substances related to the novelty of the article/journal.
Image Indexing
Extracting keywords from captions that represent the core concept/theme of the image.
Controlled Indexing
Terms extracted from a controlled vocabulary and can either be actual keywords extracted from the caption or conceptually related terms assigned from the controlled vocabulary.
Multimedia Indexing
Providing terms for tables, graphs, video, etc
Chemical Structure Indexing
Indexing chemical structures from journal articles or patents
MC has developed the following proprietary A&I Platforms for processing content at scale.
XML parse consists of a library of parse based on xml formats of all major publishers, ncbi based formats like JATS, NLM Xml, PubMed, SciELO XML , etc. It can be customized for any new format in a very short span of time.
