Various disciplines contribute to the investigation of determinants of human health and disease, to the improvement of health care, and to the prevention of illness. These contributing disciplines stem from three major scientific areas, first from basic biomedical sciences such as biology, physiology, biochemistry, molecular genetics, and pathology, second from clinical sciences such as oncology, gynecology, orthopedics, obstetrics, cardiology, internal medicine, urology, radiology, and pharmacology, and third from public health sciences with epidemiology as their core.
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.
