Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
High-quality multilingual terminology resources are essential for accurate information management in clinical and biomedical domains, as they provide consistent and precise terminology, which is vital for effective communication and decision-making in these fields. At the same time, the increasing volume of clinical and biomedical texts offers valuable opportunities to extract structured domain-specific knowledge using natural language processing (NLP) techniques such as named entity recognition (NER) and relation extraction (RE).
This Special Issue focuses on the dynamic interplay between terminology management and information extraction in multilingual clinical and biomedical contexts. We invite contributions that examine how existing terminology resources can enhance the performance of information extraction systems, and how these systems, in turn, can support the identification, validation, and expansion of (bio)medical terminologies.
By bringing together perspectives from different disciplines, this Special Issue seeks to advance the theoretical framework, methodological approaches, and practical applications at the intersection of terminology and information extraction. Contributions may address challenges in processing multilingual medical data, propose innovative tools or workflows, or present evaluation results from real-world implementations. We particularly welcome studies from the fields of computational terminology, (bio)medical informatics, information retrieval, natural language processing, knowledge representation, and corpus linguistics.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Information is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
