CONTEXT
A single research paper today can have ~50 references, meaning that just six papers in one field can easily contain about 300+ references, which is the approximate number of papers cited at the end of one decent PhD thesis! Let's liberate the human brain for finding creative connections between topics, using tools to more efficiently present all these informations.
HOW?
LabBricks enables you to project multidimensional literature space on the axis of your interest, by allowing you to read "diagonally" literature.
LabBricks shows you each paper in context presented in other papers, and allows you to efficiently drill-down in search of building blocks for your own solution.
Resulting mapped views on the literature can be shared with a simple link with colleagues making a perfect starting point for group meetings, and take away material for journal clubs and seminar talks.
GETTING STARTED
Build inital literature corpus by uploading pdf. of papers or (if they exist in open access) requesting articles by DOI or arXiv identifier. Then you can explore and add more papers as you go. Check some saved literature views to see what you can get.
