In this project, we collected abstracts from studies pertaining Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis in the PubMed database and aimed to establish a method for finding clusters of closely related studies.

Methods

This dataset was collected using the esearch NCBI API. It was processed by selecting relevant fields (title, authors and abstract) and inserted into a large text file (.txt) using a custom Bash script.
