Northern Light Life Sciences Conference Abstracts is a grey literature database, ideal for research scientists at pharmaceutical and biotech companies, healthcare organizations, academic institutions, research libraries, and research teams at hospitals. The database provides unique access to over 3.5 million abstracts and posters from 4,300 medical and life sciences conferences across the globe dating back to 2010, including over 12,000 coronavirus-related presentations.
Because peer reviewed journal articles reporting on research often appear years after the research was completed, the only way to stay truly up to date is to access the research being presented at conferences — and only Northern Light delivers that content in a readily searchable way. All of the abstracts and posters are linked from the search results, so a user can click right to the page on the conference website that contains the abstract they want to read. The conference abstracts are enhanced with extensive smart tagging added by Northern Light’s MI Analyst™ text analytics engine that reads all the abstracts, identifies the concepts mentioned, and applies the tags from over 50,000 terms in Northern Light’s taxonomies, including therapeutic area, clinical trials, and mechanisms of action, to name just a few.
