The interdepartmental collaboration facilitated improvements that led to a reduction in presumptive prescription of antimalarial drugs, antimalarial medication costs, and potentially the emergence of drug resistance.
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.
