Term in Question
Patients
Error Description
The term "Patients" is generally used only with humans. PubTator will map terms like "boy", "girl", "woman", "man", and "Patients" to the species "Homo sapiens", but Text2Term will only map "man"
To improve species coverage, map the following terms to "Homo sapiens", regardless of capitalization:
- patients (plural only, singular can mean something else)
- boy / boys
- girl /girls
- man / men
- woman / women
This should significantly increase the coverage of "species"
Proposed Correction Type
append value
Proposed Correction
Check to see if a record has a term within the above list. If so, then check if it already has the value "Homo sapiens" (NCBI Taxon 9606). If it does NOT, append the value.
