Scientific and medical literature such as scholarly peer-reviewed journal content is just one of the data types that clinical and medical affairs teams rely on for horizon scanning. • According to the Nature article ‘Scientific literature: Information overload’, more than 1 million papers were published each year – a figure that was from 2016, before the Covid pandemic and now the era of ChatGPT with the potential to further explode the volume of published literature. • Keeping up with the tsunami of scientific literature that is published every week can be a daunting task to take, especially amongst a plethora of other job responsibilities.  • The adoption of technology to drive efficiencies has therefore become imperative for optimizing the performance and management of literature-related horizon scanning activities. +1 617-657-4781 20-22 Wenlock Road, London N1 7GU, UK www.pubhive.com

7. Popular Methods for Horizon Scanning of Literature • At PubHive, we primarily see two types of approaches being used to harness the flood of peer-reviewed journal articles that are being published: • Patchwork approach involving the use of multiple standalone literature software tools with repetitive processes that are highly manual. • Unified approach leveraging a robust, all-in-one scientific literature software platform with repetitive processes that are highly automated. • In the patchwork approach, we frequently see companies accessing databases like PubMed via the native interfaces and email alerts, downloading data manually, pulling the data into academic reference managers and systematic literature review software, maintaining spreadsheets, manually checking for free Open Access articles using credit cards on publisher websites. +1 617-657-4781 20-22 Wenlock Road, London N1 7GU, UK www.pubhive.com

8. Evaluating All-In-One Literature Software Solutions • There are many factors to consider when evaluating literature software that can help your team to transition from a patchwork approach for literature-based horizon scanning to a unified one that is more efficient.  • A few of the most important factors to consider are: • Does the software solution include functionality that goes beyond literature review or beyond literature access and management? • How flexible and configurable is the platform to meet your existing ways of working? • Which manually performed steps does the platform automate? • Can the platform integrate third-party applications for document delivery, article rentals, and copyright re-use lookups? • Does the software support enterprise collaboration by providing software subscription licenses that allow for an unlimited number of users? +1 617-657-4781 20-22 Wenlock Road, London N1 7GU, UK www.pubhive.com
