MeSH

MeSH, or Medical Subject Headings, is a comprehensive controlled vocabulary used by the National Library of Medicine to organize and categorize biomedical information. Think of it as a detailed indexing system that helps researchers, healthcare professionals, and librarians find relevant articles, studies, and medical data efficiently. By assigning standardized terms and categories, MeSH ensures consistent and precise search results across medical literature, making it easier to locate trustworthy and up-to-date information within the vast field of medicine and health sciences.
