Knowledge and insights are changing rapidly but this does not mean that earlier research is no longer valid. Scientific knowledge and insights come from existing facts, data and theories combined with recent accomplishments. In order to develop new insights you need to access older research results. You cannot afford to miss side-effects and toxicities reported in the past. Due to increased technology and knowledge, cancelled drug development projects in the past may have enormous potential today. Scientists and researchers are using substantial amounts of older literature. Identifying the trail of scientific thinking helps to connect theories to new data. Case Studies Drug Safety: Hexamethonium. Repurposing Old Drugs: Thalidomide.
