Europe PMC and Open Targets develop Lit-OTAR framework unearthing over 48 million unique associations that can be leveraged for drug discovery Identifying drug targets is a critical and intricate part of drug discovery. This requires scientists to look at many sources of evidence. They use them to find links between drugs, targets, and diseases.

Europe PMC joins the SoFAIR project Modern science increasingly relies on software, from data collection and analysis to modeling complex systems. As part of our mission, Europe PMC integrates open access literature with research outputs, such as data and software, to support innovation. To further this effort we have joined forces with the SoFAIR project, a collaborative initiative to empower reuse of open research software.
