The Secret Sauce in Making Science More Accessible. You?
Multiple studies have shown that it can take 17 years for scientific research to reach front-line practitioners. The decentralized and open science movement aims to make results more accessible by distributing how researchers, practitioners, and community members engage with data. PubTrawlr is the next step in this movement. We provide an AI-powered synthesis layer to cluster and analyze thousands of abstracts to aid in the sensemaking process. And yet, this work is meaningless unless it contributes to actual use.
