About
At PubTrawlr, we aim to increase the joy and inspiration that comes from engaging with scientific literature.
We do that by making it easier to sort through and stay on top of news studies as they come out. We offer several products to help you with that.
Sign up for FREE!Consistent research has shown that there can be up to a 17-year gap between when something is published in the scientific literature and when the public at large actually uses it. Not only that, only 14% of published articles filter down to the people who can benefit from them.
This huge gap creates many cascading consequences. Students may not be getting the most up-to-date information in their classes and studies. Commercial industries may not have an awareness of the current developments (and opportunities) in their field. And most importantly, patients are potentially not getting the best treatments available because medical professionals don’t know they exist
But why? Reading journal articles can be difficult. Many people don’t have full access to what journals have to offer. And, synthesizing research can be a long, trying process even for people who can access it.
PubTrawlr is a web-based application that collects, organizes, analyzes, summarizes, and recommends published studies. For a given search topic, it generates user-friendly charts & graphs, along with targeted article recommendations.
To accomplish this, PubTrawlr leverages advances in artificial intelligence to more effectively and efficiently process results. We talk more about our methods in this open-access article.
