Based from the keyword of “informatics” and “pharmacy” on PubMed databases using advanced search, 59 articles was obtained with particular fields which is title and abstract. The articles are then being filtered by article type, publication dates and languages of articles. The article type which is clinical trial (n=2) and in review articles (n=7).
