What are the Limitations of MeSH Terms?


Although MeSH terms are highly beneficial, they do have limitations:
Lag in Updates: The MeSH thesaurus is updated annually, which may lead to a lag in incorporating new terms for emerging diseases or concepts.
Specificity Issues: Some terms may be too broad or too narrow, impacting the precision of search results.
Language Barrier: MeSH terms are primarily in English, which can be a barrier for non-English speaking researchers.
