How it works

From the whole literature to leading your area

Marsad reads the open research and public data on your topic, maps the field with AI and statistics, and shows where you stand, which growing directions no one leads yet, and the moves that make your group the reference: then keeps watch for you.

What it helps you do

Your path to leading

The tabs of every field follow the same path, from understanding the field to leading a direction in it.

  1. Research areas and how they connect, trends over time, who shaped the field, key papers. On Where am I?, describe your work in a few sentences or add your papers to see where it sits.

    #6 of 60 researchers
  2. New papers, methods and datasets, and activity beyond academia (funding, patents, policy, code, talks), in the areas you follow.

    2 new papers in your area
  3. Your rank among the field's researchers and what the next step needs; growing directions with few groups and no leader; and for each, the moves that make a group the reference. Then the open problems with their evidence.

  4. Your idea or draft compared with the field's papers by words and by meaning, and with the scholarly databases beyond them.

    Close in meaning
  5. Each open problem as a Word document: the statement, the evidence, the closest work, who is nearby, venues and open funding calls.

    Word brief

Honest about what it knows

Every statement links to the papers it comes from.
Competition is counted in research groups, not papers; growth must pass a statistical test before a direction is called growing.
Open data sources; nothing is invented. Works in English and Arabic, on a computer or a phone.
