Thanks for sharing @caitlin91.bsky.social @mikemorrison.bsky.social 🙂. Ill hopefully have a proper live demo site to share soon

Of course! Looking forward to it!

Eventually I aim to provide more functionality such as a module for automatically bulk fetching article pdfs for those with public download links. Meanwhile modules for topic analysis, funding and organisational mapping Ill add. The goal is also to allow anyone to write and share their own modules.

Overall I hope a singular interface in this form, for working with different metadata and data providers, using open code and free apis could be helpful

I really love this interface. It solves more than just visualization (which is already huge), it effectively makes searches more reproducible. Would love to publish an article (or later, a study!) on it in the fledgling https://scienceUX.org journal.

I love this.

Thanks Jay! So far its kinda just looking like an OpenAlex wrapper but Im happy with its direction. Theres a bunch of features Im looking forward to adding too, like pubmed integration. Its slow progress but Im learning lots :)

cc @joelchan86.bsky.social may have thoughts?

So you’re like @protocolsio.bsky.social for the lit review part of a paper?

Excited to follow this work. Maybe there are grants to fund this? Digital Science or CZ Initiative?

corranmac.bsky.social•38 days ago

Thanks a lot for sharing those funders, I hadnt come across them before! Digital Science especially seems to fund similar projects. A bit of funding to help work on it more would be the dream

corranmac.bsky.social•38 days ago

Yea I would say so, with inspiration from searcharxiv too! The goals mainly being to make query building more intuitive, lit searches easier to share and reproduce with just a couple clicks, and to provide an interactive alternative to static prisma flow diagrams.
