Earlier this month, <\/span>R Discovery<\/span><\/a>, a Researcher.Life solution by Cactus Communications, tied up with the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), the largest aerospace technical society in the world, to provide researchers direct access to high-quality published content. Starting November 10, 2022, all of AIAA\u2019s research content will be made available and accessible real time to more than 2 million users on the R Discovery literature search and research reading app.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Engaging with and making sense of scholarly articles in your field is an essential skill for PhD students and researchers. A 2017 survey revealed that researchers spent 23% of their total work time on reading, with an average of 280 papers being read every year.<\/span> 1<\/sup><\/span> Another report by the Elsevier and Sense about Science indicates that researchers often spend as much time finding relevant research to read as reading it.<\/span>2<\/sup><\/span> If considered together, this accounts for a large chunk of time and effort in a researcher\u2019s life that could otherwise be spent on more critical research work. <\/span><\/p>\n

This is where R Discovery comes in.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The smart app offers researchers a simple solution to the literature search and research reading challenge. R Discovery uses your preferred topics of interest to create a personalized reading feed for you, with suggestions on top reads, smart summaries, and other features that help the right research discover you. This partnership further expands the R Discovery content bank and enables researchers to access AIAA content via the app in the form of daily recommendations.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCreating a content bank that will help researchers find all information under one umbrella was one of our key intentions from the start,\u201d CACTUS CEO & Co-founder <\/strong><\/span>Abhishek Goel said.<\/strong> \u201cOur collaboration with AIAA is a step towards creating an integrated ecosystem with access to the most relevant and recent content. With R Discovery\u2019s capabilities, this move will help researchers globally to find the right content, save time, and improve their papers.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

R Discovery brings together over 100 million research papers and more than 32,000 journals in its continually expanding research library. Academics can access over 9.5 million research topics across key subject areas such as biology, medicine, philosophy, political science, environmental science, social sciences and psychology. Apart from paywalled articles, which can be accessed via one\u2019s university credentials, R Discovery hosts over 39 million open-access articles and 2 million preprints, making it one of the largest open-access research repositories on the go.\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

AIAA is a top publisher of cutting-edge aerospace books and journals and the leading source of aerospace industry archives. Over 80 years, AIAA and its predecessors have published more than 300 books and nearly 200,000 technical articles. \u201cWe are look<\/span>ing forward to having our content accessible through R Discovery, maximizing discoverability of aerospace knowledge amongst the research community<\/span>,<\/span>\u201d<\/span> said Jessica Loayza, Director, Publications Operations and Web Publishing at AIAA<\/strong>, commenting on the partnership.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
