The R Discovery app was designed to help researchers find relevant research faster, read smarter, and rapidly gain a sense of the research landscape. We were focused on scaling our product, experimenting and iterating to understand what our users really want, while establishing a digital presence around the world.<\/p>\n<p>As we hit our stride, quickly crossing a million downloads, we were increasingly aware of the need to recenter the user experience around our evolving vision and goals. The challenge was to design one simple and consistent experience that could work to deliver a wide range of content for different types of researchers. Informed by user research, we embarked on a redesign to optimize the design and information architecture of the app, ensuring a better reading experience for you.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1876 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Sample-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2500\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Sample-1.png 2500w, https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Sample-1-300x58.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Sample-1-1024x197.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Sample-1-768x147.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Sample-1-1536x295.png 1536w, https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Sample-1-2048x393.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2500px) 100vw, 2500px\" \/><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_68 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title \" >Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/researcher.life\/blog\/article\/ensuring-a-better-reading-experience-for-researchers\/#Highlights_of_the_R_Discovery_20_redesign\" title=\"Highlights of the R Discovery 2.0 redesign\">Highlights of the R Discovery 2.0 redesign<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/researcher.life\/blog\/article\/ensuring-a-better-reading-experience-for-researchers\/#Driving_personalization\" title=\"Driving personalization\">Driving personalization<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/researcher.life\/blog\/article\/ensuring-a-better-reading-experience-for-researchers\/#Simplified_navigation_and_interaction\" title=\"Simplified navigation and interaction\">Simplified navigation and interaction<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/researcher.life\/blog\/article\/ensuring-a-better-reading-experience-for-researchers\/#A_streamlined_design_system\" title=\"A streamlined design system\">A streamlined design system<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/researcher.life\/blog\/article\/ensuring-a-better-reading-experience-for-researchers\/#The_story_behind_R_Discovery_20\" title=\"The story behind R Discovery 2.0\">The story behind R Discovery 2.0<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/researcher.life\/blog\/article\/ensuring-a-better-reading-experience-for-researchers\/#Our_approach\" title=\"Our approach\">Our approach<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/researcher.life\/blog\/article\/ensuring-a-better-reading-experience-for-researchers\/#1_How_can_we_help_users_get_started_with_R_Discovery\" title=\"1.

So we made changes like giving prominence to specific meta data and created actions to encourage users to shape their feed according to their needs. Practicing transparency in how the recommendations work, we now enable users to choose from a holistic research field to a more granular level, for e.g., users can even assign importance to each of the topics they follow.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Simplified_navigation_and_interaction\"><\/span><strong>Simplified navigation and interaction<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The new app design balances simplicity with utility, presenting all the required information in an easy-to-understand manner.

And so can exploring a new tool. To simplify this process for our users, we prioritized design principles like minimalism, chunking information, and progressive disclosure. User testing our product not only helped us identify potential road blocks, but also allowed us to refine task flows and communication.<\/p>\n<p>We encountered two types of users \u2014 those who know exactly what they\u2019re looking for (keywords, journals, etc.), and the ones who just want to get started and are more comfortable with sharing their existing reading lists (as papers or by syncing with their existing personal library) Now, both groups of users can easily update us on their preferences, thereby enabling our AI engine to start recommending scientific papers.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div style=\"float: left; padding-right: 10px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2577\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Splash-screen-Old-1A-138x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"307\" height=\"667\" \/><\/div>\n<div style=\"float: left; padding-left: 10px;\">\n<div style=\"width: 300px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-2568-1\" width=\"300\" height=\"641\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Splash-to-onboarding-screen-New-1B.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Splash-to-onboarding-screen-New-1B.mp4\">https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Splash-to-onboarding-screen-New-1B.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_How_can_we_help_researchers_discover_relevant_research_faster\"><\/span><strong>2.

Across all our conversations with researchers, a common thread was that they liked focus, and the new reading experience has been built to ensure this. We went from a continuous scroll of smaller article cards to a larger, focused display that enables you to evaluate one paper at a time. This visual pause helps in concentrated and quicker decision-making, while the swipe interaction gives you more control on working through a long list. Keeping in mind user feedback, we added key elements like tags explaining why the paper matters, topics covered, and some part of the abstract allowing researchers to quickly evaluate relevance and deciding whether they should read a paper further. We also pruned the actions available on the feed to minimize other distractions.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-2568 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-large'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/researcher.life\/blog\/article\/ensuring-a-better-reading-experience-for-researchers\/feed-old-2a\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Feed-old-2A-576x1024.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-2573\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Feed-old-2A-576x1024.png 576w, https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Feed-old-2A-169x300.png 169w, https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Feed-old-2A.png 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-2573'>\n\t\t\t\tOld Feed screen\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/researcher.life\/blog\/article\/ensuring-a-better-reading-experience-for-researchers\/feed-new-2b\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Feed-new-2B-576x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-2572\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Feed-new-2B-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Feed-new-2B-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/blog.researcher.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Feed-new-2B.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-2572'>\n\t\t\t\tNew Feed screen\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>We also simplified the navigation, making it more consistent with our users\u2019 mental models.
