This chapter aims highlight benefits can obtain when embracing science. After introducing key concepts, we first describe range sources (theme-specific generalist banks, public repositories, search engines) outstanding relevance studies. Then, explain various techniques means datasets be retrieved stored. concludes summarizing advantages potentialities mining research, well related challenges limitations.
