Collaboration is a key component of research. Original research papers with a single author are — particularly in the life sciences — a vanishing breed. This makes it difficult to identify author contributions and acknowledgements, as well as to mine any data from the unstructured information.

I would like to make some observations about statistics-based categorization and search, and about the advantages that their proponents claim. First of all, statistics-based co-occurrence approaches do have their place. For wide-ranging bodies of text such as email archives and social media exchanges, and for assessing the nature of an unknown collection of documents, a well-defined collection of concepts covering a pre-determined area of study and practice is not possible. For lack of this foundation, and for lack of other practical approaches, attempts at analysis fall back on less-than -ideal mathematical approaches.

But with this method, the specimens only have a limited lifespan, and entire collections are at risk.
