Who works on it?
Describe a research topic: we find the people and institutions who sign the matching papers of the last years, in journals and on preprint servers, how they sign them, and the approaches these papers take.

How it works
- We write several searches from your topic and run them on OpenAlex, which knows the papers of journals and preprint servers with the institutions of their authors. You see the searches and can change them.
- An AI reads the titles and abstracts and keeps the papers that address the topic. A preprint and its published version count once.
- For each person: the papers they sign first, last or as corresponding author, apart from alphabetical author lists and the long lists of large collaborations; one person per ORCID. Each institution counts for its share of each paper.
- The papers are grouped by approach (method, data, instrument or theory), so you see who does what.
- With your ORCID iD, you and your co-authors of the last five years are left out when you look for referees, collaborators or competing teams.
- To find collaborators, the competing teams, or referees to suggest to a journal.
- Exports for spreadsheets and reference managers, papers saved in a collection, competing teams followed in your scoop watch.
- Follow a map: every month, the new papers on the topic and the new names.
- You can start from a project of your scoop watch or the research profile of your paper alert.
