Ontoclick: a Chrome web browser extension to facilitate biomedical knowledge curation

Knowledge curation from the biomedical literature is very valuable but can be a repetitive and laborious process. The paucity of user-friendly tools is one of the reasons for the lack of widespread adoption of good biomedical knowledge curation practices. Here we present Ontoclick, a Chrome web browser extension that streamlines the process of annotating a text span with a relevant ontology term. We hope this tool will make biocuration more accessible to a wider audience of biomedical researchers. Ontoclick is freely available under the GPL-3.0 license on the Chrome Web Store.
