www.SciOrbis.org

This website provides a new way to evaluate scientific publications. This website arose from frustration with the existing ways to discuss published papers. We constantly read papers, review them, discuss them with our colleagues, participate in journal clubs and teach about them. But, while evaluation of the literature is an integral part of being a scientist, unless these efforts lead to a published reply, they go unrecorded and unshared with the wider scientific community. The purpose of SciOrbis is to allow open discussion and evaluation of scientific literature. With it, we don't have to approach every new paper alone, but can benefit from the thoughts of other scientists and share our own insights. This collection of thoughts and opinions will make possible powerful new ways to organize the unwieldy and ever-growing scientific literature On SciOrbis you can: - express your opinion about scientific articles - find popular articles and see what others are thinking - organize your research, build projects and take notes - use it yourself, for collaborations, journal clubs and classes. SciOrbis.org is free and open to everyone in the scientific community.
