Figure 1From: Publication trends in the medical informatics literature: 20 years of "Medical Informatics" in MeSH Growth in the output of medical informatics. We fit the number of MI-MeSH citations per year for the study period to a linear equation as well as an exponential curve. These two equations are y = 356.32 x-707575.22 (R 2 = .79) and y = 94.19*exp(.2236*x-444.03)+1798.61 (R 2 = .97) respectively.Back to article page
