“…In addition to following a well-structured, pre-planned and formal research approach, scientists occasionally discover important and unique phenomena by chance, error, or accident which is referred to as serendipity (Merton, 1948; McCay-Peet and Toms, 2015). The term serendipity was coined by Horace Walpole[3] in 1754 based on the Persian fairy tale “The Three Princes of Serendip” who made unexpected discoveries by accidents and sagacity while travelling (Foster and Ellis, 2014; Silver, 2015). Many important discoveries, such as anesthesia (Holmes, 2009), penicillin (Bennett and Chung, 2001), x-rays (Glasser, 1995), the universal law of gravitation (Miller, 1951) and Viagra (Osterloh, 2004), were serendipitous in nature.…”
