Drug discovery is related to analytics as the method requires a technique to handle the extremely large volume of structured and unstructured biomedical data of multi-dimensional and complexity from pharmaceutical companies. To tackle the complexity of data and to get better insight into the data, big data analytics can be used to integrate the massive amount of pharmaceutical data and computational tools in an analytic framework. This paper presents an overview of big data analytics in the field of drug discovery and outlines an analytic framework which can be applied to computational drug discovery process and briefly discuss the challenges. Hence, big data analytics may contribute to better drug discovery.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
