Abstract
The monumental waste of time and money when the incorrect reagent is purchased is a prevalent problem in life science research. CiteAb is an innovative technology company that has developed unique data collection technology to identify product citations from the scientific literature in order to solve this problem. Citation data powers a search engine which ranks products by citation count. This provides researchers with a simple, unbiased and reliable method to identify the best reagent for their experiment. CiteAb then saw an opportunity to provide citation-based data products to reagent suppliers and financial companies to maximise their business performance, reach and impact. CiteAb technology is estimated to have saved the life science industry $10 billion, ultimately helping accelerate science. This success has driven sustained revenue growth with no external investment. This article will give an overview of CiteAb’s technology, products, impact and future directions, including the potential for partnerships with publishers.
期刊介绍:
Information Services & Use is an information and information technology oriented publication with a wide scope of subject matters.
