Category G1 & G2 Indexing
Category G1 contains mainly the MeSH headings for the disciplines in the biological sciences such as:
- BIOCHEMISTRY
- BIOLOGY
- NEUROSCIENCES
Category G2 contains mainly the MeSH headings for the various health occupations such as:
- MEDICINE
- DENTISTRY
- OPTOMETRY
Several of the MeSH headings in these categories exist also as subheadings (see Indexing Manual 19.7+). The MeSH headings are used for general aspects of the field while the subheadings are used with specific anatomical terms, diseases, organisms, biological processes, and drugs. The indexer will use the subheadings much more frequently than the “duplicate” MeSH heading.
