Atypon has launched Scitrus, a new personal research discovery app, the first in a suite of researcher tools scheduled for release in the coming months. Scitrus filters content that is relevant and reliable from content that is not, generating a personalised, social media-style feed of the latest and most relevant journal articles, news, and citation alerts.
Scitrus curates content published daily from over 30,000 sources across the web. Each reader’s feed is populated by the disciplines, journals, authors, and societies that they follow when setting up their account. The app’s algorithms learn from interactions, continuously improving the relevance of the feed’s content. Scitrus also shows more content from the most important and relevant items.
Researchers can use further options to specify the content sources in their feed, control the degree of filtering, and save content to read later.
