Discovering discoveries: Identifying biomedical discoveries using citation contexts

作者:

Highlights:

• 46% of the articles receiving citances containing “discovery” words are scientific discoveries.

• Eight percent of the articles having 20 or more discovery citances resulted in a Nobel Prize.

• One-third of the articles on the list were co-cited as independent multiple discoveries.

• Discovery recognition can begin early on and peaks after two decades with delays for some articles.

• Machine learning can automate discovery identification with an accuracy and F1 value of 94%.
