OnCo record `2018` (Year). Data CC BY-NC 4.0, attribute "Data from OnCo (onco.cc)"; commercial use needs a licence.

## TL;DR

Everything OnCo dates to 2018: 629 entries, 171 papers, 165 papers listed on people's pages, 113 landmarks and 65 trials reported. Each line links to the record it was read from, so the year is a view of the corpus rather than a second copy of it.

## Summary

629 dated entries in OnCo fall in 2018: 171 papers, 165 papers listed on people's pages, 113 landmarks, 65 trials reported, 55 approvals, 26 regulatory events, 13 companies founded, 10 technologies, 3 journals founded, 3 laws and regulations, 3 guideline changes and 2 financing rounds.

Of those, 24 to the day, 5 to the month and 600 to the year only. Most of the corpus dates a fact to the year, because that is what the source it was read from gives; regulatory events and the readout calendar are the parts that carry a full date.

Everything on this page is generated from the other records. It holds no fact of its own, and it changes when they do.
