Abstract

Although a scientific web application that is intuitive can help scientists utilize data more easily and advance their research, there is little guidance on how to design such an application in the academic literature. We discuss how we designed an intuitive application for bench scientists working in drug discovery following an approach that can be applied to the design and development of scientific resources in a broad range of disciplines.
