Earth scientists can finally use a NASA ADS-like search system - yay!! If you're not familiar with either of these sites check out SciX - it will make you so much happier when you next have to do literature review 📚😃

We love our data-viz capabilities, and we love seeing our research community love them too! Thanks for sharing this, @taramurphy.bsky.social. Who else has been using our in-built data-vizualisation tools? Show us your plots 🤩 scixplorer.org

Why change a good thing 😉 We channel our energy into innovations, not renovations! One thing that has changed however is the library. It's now an open and collaborative space with a gorgeous video wall that you'll spot behind Edwin in our launch video on our YouTube channel: youtu.be/sgJ-LolRLu8?...

#SciX is not just papers; it's data and software too, plus all the connections among them.

#SciX makes research more efficient by linking data, code, and publications, so findings can be tested, trusted, and built on faster. More reproducible science, less wasted effort, more discoveries. #OpenScience #ResearchIntegrity #ReproducibleResearch #EfficientResearchWorkflows

Our biggest challenges don’t fit neatly into one field - and neither should their solutions. #SciX connects knowledge across disciplines, making it easier for researchers to share insights, combine methods, and spark unsiloed breakthroughs. #InterdisciplinaryResearch #OpenScience

Matthew is part of our awesome Advisory Board! As many of us as possible met for our quarterly meeting in June at the CfA. We grabbed some time with everyone there! The board brings a broad range of research experiences to help us shape our strategic development: scixplorer.org/scixblog/sci...

Astronomers have long been blessed by the existence of #ADS - excited for the new @scixcommunity.bsky.social platform, expanding to other disciplines - developed via NASA #openscience funding. Look forward to trying it out! 🔭🧪

Science Explorer (SciX) @scixcommunity.bsky.social · 12d

#SciX is created by the #ADS team & operates out of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory under a NASA Cooperative Agreement. Created and developed by scientists, for scientists, SciX builds on decades of open research infrastructure and collaboration: https://bit.ly/CfASciXNews

Thanks so much for sharing the love, Sarah! Tell all of your friends and collaborators, and let us know if we can pop along to your communities virtually or in person to run any on-boarding workshops. We're also developing our training hub offering with some self-paced tutorials, so watch this space

Science Explorer (SciX) @scixcommunity.bsky.social · 11d

We hear you! Hope you get on with the new SciX platform, and please do feed back with your thoughts. Made by scientists, for scientists, one of our founding values is that we make platforms that are as useful as they can possibly be, to help researchers achieve the greatest societal impact.

Science Explorer (SciX) @scixcommunity.bsky.social · 11d

We love to see it! Thanks so much, Nicole ❤️

ADS has given astronomy THE BEST literature tools available anywhere. I almost never have to use the garbage that other academics have to suffer through (GoogleScholar, JSTOR, LexisNexis, WoS, PubMed...)

Literally anytime I have to interface with those tools I weep

Science Explorer (SciX) @scixcommunity.bsky.social · 12d

A natural evolution of ADS, SciX brings its powerful capabilities into new domains. Expanded coverage, intuitive search, smart recommendations, and tools for collaboration. SciX makes research more discoverable, connected, and accessible than ever before. https://scixplorer.org/scixblog/scix-launch
