Abstract
The rapid increase in the academic literature has resulted in overspecialization of knowledge. To overcome this overspecialization, literature-based discovery (LBD) has been proposed to help discover promising and under-investigated hypotheses that connect two bodies of knowledge. The method has been around for more than 30 years, but its application has mostly been confined to the medical sciences. In this study, we perform a comprehensive survey of the literature on the application of LBD in nonmedical disciplines, summarize the approaches used, and discuss ways to promote the use of LBD in nonmedical disciplines.
