Workflow for Generating a MeSHOP. Starting from a set of articles relating to a biological concept or entity (the foreground set), the associated MeSH terms for each PubMed record of each article are extracted. The prevalence of each MeSH term across the set of articles is compared to a background. Fisher’s Exact Test is applied to measure the statistical over-representation of each term in the foreground set.
