  Citation analysis of documents retrieved from the Medline database (at the
Web of Knowledge) has been possible only on a case-by-case basis. A technique
is here developed for citation analysis in batch mode using both Medical
Subject Headings (MeSH) at the Web of Knowledge and the Science Citation Index
at the Web of Science. This freeware routine is applied to the case of "Brugada
Syndrome," a specific disease and field of research (since 1992). The journals
containing these publications, for example, are attributed to Web-of-Science
Categories other than "Cardiac and Cardiovascular Systems"), perhaps because of
the possibility of genetic testing for this syndrome in the clinic. With this
routine, all the instruments available for citation analysis can now be used on
the basis of MeSH terms. Other options for crossing between Medline, WoS, and
Scopus are also reviewed.
