EDDA Study Designs Taxonomy

Coverage of the terminology appearing in JMLA was extended with terms from MeSH, NCI Thesaurus (NCI), Emtree, the HTA Database Canadian Repository [international repository for health technology assessment], and Robert Sandieson's synonym ring for research synthesis. Collected terms were enriched with terms from the NCI Metathesaurus. Variants include synonyms for preferred terms, singular and plural forms, and American and British spellings. Definitions, if they exist, are mainly from MeSH, NCI, Emtree, and medical dictionaries.

《JMLA》中出现的术语覆盖范围得以扩展，新增术语源自医学主题词表（MeSH）、国家癌症研究所术语表（NCI）、Emtree、加拿大卫生技术评估数据库（国际卫生技术评估存储库）以及罗伯特·桑迪森的研究综合同义词环。收集到的术语通过与国家癌症研究所元术语表中的术语进行丰富。变体包括优选术语的同义词、单复数形式以及美式和英式拼写。若存在定义，则主要来源于MeSH、NCI、Emtree和医学词典。
