Apart from the traditionally published research papers, i.e., publication in peer-reviewed journals, publication on new channels such as open archives has increased the volume of academic literature, especially in fast-growing scientific fields. This deluge of publications has only partially reflected in the research\/citation databases like Web of Science and Scopus. The total number of published research papers worldwide increased from 0.65 million in 1980 to 3.16 million in 2018.1<\/sup><\/p>\n Research, development, and innovation processes are operating at increasingly accelerated rates worldwide, promising rapid development, and higher standards of living. The integration of research-based knowledge into daily practices is a considerable challenge because not all of this knowledge can be accessed or processed easily. This makes finding research papers that are most relevant for you increasingly difficult.<\/p>\n Most articles are behind paywalls; researchers and broader audiences who look for research insights experience information overload; and many platforms for published research papers are not user-friendly and do not allow easy browsing. Additionally, unethical research and publication practices, including plagiarism, data falsification\/fabrication, salami slicing, and predatory publishing, make it challenging to find trustworthy published research papers. Moreover, relying on only one or two databases when finding research papers increases the probability of missing relevant publications.<\/p>\n A strong research project requires one to stay on top of developments in the research area of interest, which in turn, requires finding research papers that are most relevant and recent in the discipline. Unfortunately, achieving this can be one of the most challenging and time-consuming tasks for academicians.<\/p>\n Here are some tips on\u00a0how you can navigate through the deluge of published research papers and find the ones you need<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Staying up to date on newly published research papers has become much easier with the\u00a0free R Discovery mobile app<\/a>\u00a0by Researcher.Life.
