The Importance of Indexing of Articles in Medical Journals with Standard Descriptors

Today, abstracts and keywords are one of the requirements of writing each article. Keywords will be added at the end of the abstract with the aim of revealing the structure of the article and also provides the possibility to index research. Choosing the best and most appropriate index word is possible with the correct indexing. Proper indexing is the means of taking advantage of the tools that make the indexer and researcher able to apply consistent concepts. Persian Medical thesaurus and English medical thesaurus (MeSH) are used as tools in the proper indexing service.
