To analyze such volume of scientific works and Scientific Literature Search and Text Analysis was developed.

SAS complements CORD-19 with the models developed by linguists and experts in the field of health care and pharmaceutics, using SAS Visual Text Analytics and SAS Visual Data Mining and Machine Learning on the SAS Viya platform.

A system allows to visualize the generalized quantitative data, to quickly define authoritativeness of sources and to execute keyword-based search in the original text.

The provided environment for the analysis of scientific texts provides an intuitive and available method of search of difficult interrelations in separate texts. This cloud solution is free, and it should allow research community to cope quicker with crisis of COVID-19, comments Alexander Zhukov, the Head of Department of solutions for health care SAS Russia/CIS.
