Özet: Finding clear expansion of abbreviations commonly used in the texts is an important requirement for obtaining and understanding the information. If the abbreviations used in the text are thought to be known to everyone, these abbreviations might not be used with clear expansion in the text. However, sometimes used the abbreviation can have more than one clear equivalents and this makes understanding difficult. To be able to create correct expansion from abbreviations is still examined by different methods on as a subject being studied. In the literature reviewed, since the use of the Apriori algorithm for abbreviation expansion is not encountered, in this study, a method is proposed based on the association rule to obtain the clear expansion of the abbreviations in PubMed abstracts. Within the examined data set and abbreviations, even if the abbreviation has more than one clear expansion, the applied method can find the clear expansion of the abbreviation with 87.5% accuracy by a common minimum support value or more than 87.5% accuracy by different minimum support values.
