  8. Mapping • Entering an exact match for a term in the controlled vocabulary; the term will appear and be selected, but other similar subjects will be listed (often a prompt to use “explode”) • Entering a synonym for a term, will direct you to the preferred term (use “explode” if it is a category or group of subjects) • No match – Frequency based listing If term is neither a direct match nor listed as a "used for" term ("see reference“ or synonym) then: • Ovid looks at citation where terms occurs in title or abstract or other fields… • Algorithm counts the occurrence of subject headings tied to those citations. • The most frequently occurring subject headings are presented to the user as choices. • In a frequency based list, one choice may be appropriate, or more than one or a combination of choices, or you may need to choose to “search as a keyword” • “Cannot map term to a subject heading” – check spelling, or “search as a keyword” if very new or rare, this is an unusual response for a large database
