Reposted by PandaElicit @elicit.com · 21/10/2025Scientific literature is vast and interconnected. Some connections are made explicit through citation networks. Others are latent, implicit connections that can only be revealed through manual review or text mining. There’s a whole field of research dedicated to this - elicit.com/blog/litera...elicit.comLooking for Hidden Gems in Scientific Literature - ElicitScientific literature is vast and contains within it as yet unnoticed connections. Literature-based discovery is an attempt to bring them to light. 041
