title: [Text mining, a method for computer-assisted analysis of scientific texts, demonstrated by an analysis of author networks].
abstract: Searching for relevant publications is becoming more difficult with the increasing number of scientific articles. Text mining as a specific form of computer-based data analysis may be helpful in this context. Highlighting relations between authors and finding relevant publications concerning a specific subject using text analysis programs are illustrated graphically by 2 performed examples.
