Target Novelty Scorer
ID: 177
Description
Score the novelty of biological targets based on literature mining. By analyzing literature in academic databases such as PubMed and PubMed Central, assess the research popularity, uniqueness, and innovation potential of target molecules in the research field.
Features
- 🔬 Literature Retrieval: Automatically retrieve literature related to targets from PubMed and other databases
- 📊 Novelty Scoring: Calculate target novelty score based on multi-dimensional indicators (0-100)
- 📈 Trend Analysis: Analyze temporal trends in target research
- 🧬 Cross-validation: Verify current research status of targets by combining multiple databases
- 📝 Report Generation: Generate detailed novelty analysis reports
Scoring Criteria
- Research Heat (0-25 points): Number of related publications and citations in recent years
- Uniqueness (0-25 points): Distinction from known popular targets
- Research Depth (0-20 points): Progress of preclinical/clinical research
- Collaboration Network (0-15 points): Diversity of research institutions/teams
- Temporal Trend (0-15 points): Research growth trends in recent years
