It is no surprise that authors place what they consider to be their most important and promising findings into an abstract. But as an abstract’s size is very limited, many discoveries and observations are excluded, and only published within the body of full-text. Among them are detailed descriptions of methodology, negative statements, results that authors considered to be less relevant or less fitting the main idea of publication.
This session will review the results of our study to estimate the number and value of target-related facts that are missing from abstracts or were published in abstracts much later than in full-text.
Learning Objectives:
- View results of a study comparing the text mining results of full-text articles vs. abstracts
- Learn about the value of full-article text mining
- Lean about considerations when performing text mining for early drug discovery
