Challenges with handling multiple research projects
Researchers often tend to work on multiple research projects simultaneously. These could be in similar or different stages of progress and researchers need to be on top of all the work being published around these projects. In some cases, researchers need to compile and understand the research that has already been done and build further hypotheses. In other cases, they may need to track new findings that could be relevant for their ongoing research project or check if similar research has been published in some other part of the world. In all these situations, juggling multiple research projects can take a toll on researchers. They need to browse through various academic paper repositories to discover, organize, and comprehend literature for each of these separate research projects.
At R Discovery, we know how important it is for researchers to keep up with literature that is relevant and useful for their work. This is why we’re adding a new feature to the most loved literature search and research reading app that helps its over 2.7 million users and others across the world efficiently manage separate research projects.
Introducing multiple feeds, an asset for busy researchers
While keeping up with multiple research projects has long been a challenge, R Discovery realized that this specific researcher problem could be easily solved using available AI technology. For instance, if a researcher can get AI-curated reading recommendations for each of his/her research projects, then they can reduce the time and effort needed to discover relevant research. When looking into how we could make this happen, we realized that our platform would need to have:
- a trusted research paper repository that is updated regularly, so that researchers need not go to multiple websites to discover research papers.
- a strong AI algorithm or recommender system that can understand a researcher’s requirements, exactly how they are in his/her mind and suggest the right reads.
- an efficient system that can simultaneously maintain multiple reading feeds so users can track each of their research projects separately.
Fortunately, R Discovery has all of these requirements and more, which allows it to introduce multiple reading feeds tailored to bring more clarity and organization into the lives of researchers handling many research projects at once. This latest feature is based on solid foundation of over 120 million articles, an academic paper repository that is updated daily, one of the best recommendation engines, and robust AI algorithms. With multiple feeds, R Discovery has taken a big step toward saving more time and energy for researchers who need to progress on multiple research projects simultaneously.
How to create multiple feeds on R Discovery
Working on multiple research projects and keeping track and making progress on all of them has been hard work, and R Discovery is helping researchers do that better. Within a month of launching this premium feature, we’ve already got a lot of appreciation, with about 20% of our R Discovery Prime users already creating new additional feeds over and above their default reading recommendations feed.
If you’re managing more than one research project, you should definitely try out R Discovery and set up your reading feed/s to get daily reading recommendations in your areas of interest. Just follow the simple step-by-step instructions as shown below.
1. Researchers can click on the dropdown given in top header to create multiple feeds on R Discovery, with a choice to set up different feeds based on specific topics or areas of interest.
2. Each reading feed can have different topics, with a high-moderate-low weightage mentioned for each, which helps the platform identify the most relevant recommendations for every project.
3. Researchers can also choose to like or dislike the research papers recommended, which helps the algorithm understand your preferences and train it to deliver better results over time.
4. From the multiple feeds set up, researchers can choose one as a default feed to receive regular notifications on the latest updated, delivered directly to their mobile and email inbox.
5. Researchers can save any papers they find useful from their reading lists to their library. They can create new reading lists; move papers between lists; edit, delete, and do much more to keep everything they need organized.
The best part is that R Discovery’s system is smart enough to start the app on the last project you left open, which means that researchers can simply start from where they left.
Looking forward to a better future
Apart from multiple feeds, R Discovery brings together a plethora of advanced features to help users discover, access, read, listen, organize, and share research on the best literature search and reading platform.
