Cost-effectiveness analysis in primary care research: A practical guide for early-career researchers

African Journal of Primary Health Care & Family Medicine
Cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) is an important tool for guiding decisions on resource allocation in primary health care (PHC), particularly in low- and middle-income countries that face constrained budgets and competing health priorities.

Is an Apple an Orange? A Large Language Model Benchmark for Candidate Term Extraction and Subclass Decisions Against Upper Ontologies in Engineering and Materials Science

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Building machine‐readable vocabularies for materials science is slow, expert‐driven work. This study benchmarks 13 large language models on two of its first steps: finding candidate terms in engineering articles and deciding where they belong in a class hierarchy.
