# Fish Oil, Raynaud's Syndrome, and Undiscovered Public Knowledge

Don R. Swanson, 1986. _Perspectives in Biology and Medicine_.

Swanson argues that specialised literatures can hold unnoticed links, and shows this by connecting fish oil to Raynaud's syndrome through intermediate findings published in separate fields. The paper is the starting point of literature-based discovery.
