Publications Maria Kvist
My research in the field of medical language technology and health informatics has resulted in thirtythree scientific articles, of which thirtythree are published in peer-reviewed publications. I have also contributed with four shorter abstracts for medical conferences (refereed) and a debate article with presentation of survey results.
From previous research 1983-1991 (in my maiden name Sjölund): fifteen original articles in refereed international scientific journals in the subject area of Medical Cell Biology, as well as eight contributions to refereed scientific conferences.
