Advances in Literature-Based Discovery

Since Swanson’s introduction of literature-based discovery in 1986, new hypotheses have been generated by connecting disconnected scientific literatures. In this paper, we present the general discovery model and show how it can be used for drug discovery research. We describe our discovery support tool by discussing a recent discovery for which we used this tool. We conclude by discussing criticisms to and the current status and future of literature-based discovery support tools.
