• Information Retrieval Evaluation (2011, unknown): “A second Medlars collection was built in 1970 [140, 141] in order to do a better comparison.”
• OHSUMED: an interactive retrieval evaluation and new large test collection for research (1994, methodology): “This was done by comparing the recall and precision of SMART and the human searcher for each query by having SMART retrieve the exact number of documents retrieved by the human, somewhat analogous to the original SMART-MEDLARS study [7].”
