Scientists may have moved well beyond traditional reading, but they still remain engaged with the narrative of scientific articles and need tools to help them read, and not only mine, that narrative. [...] Reading the sentences of an article in relevance order rather than narrative order is an example of strategic reading within an article.An example of strategic reading across a collection is provided by Information Hyperlinked over Proteins (iHOP),which uses genes and proteins to create a network of sentences and abstracts for searching and navigating MEDLINE abstracts (32).
