Summary
The ironic proverbial saying that “a month in the lab can save you an hour in the library” is proving itself repeatedly and at a huge cost to both academic and commercial institutions alike. Missed information in the literature costs time, money, and quality. Both the quality of decisions made and the quality of subsequent research output is compromised when the available information is not realized. In monetary terms, incorrect decisions along the drug pipeline lifecycle in the pharmaceutical area can cost millions to billions of dollars.
