Hi all, Thought you might be interested in this new OA project! This scholarly search engine will be a little different than the (many) already out there: it's aimed at a nonspecialist audience of citizen scientists, patients, K-12 teachers, and so on.
To do that we'll need to rely not just on OA, but also on a set of AI-powered systems that help explain and contextualize articles, providing concept maps, automated plain-language translations (think automatic Simple Wikipedia <https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page>), structured abstracts, and so on. The goal is that by making the products of research *accessible* (in every sense of the word) to the public, we can help deliver on some of the bolder promises of OA to really transform knowledge. More info is at http://gettheresearch.org. Would love to hear any criticisms, suggestions, and ideas! Apologetically cross-postingly yours, Jason -- Jason Priem, co-founder Impactstory <http://impactstory.org/>: We make tools to power the Open Science revolution follow at @jasonpriem <http://twitter.com/jasonpriem> and @impactstory <http://twitter.com/impactstory>
