By researchers.
We know what makes a good research site because we are academics ourselves. We offer first-party support (vs. third-party plugins) for academic content such as publications, teams, and mathematical typesetting, which will make it easier to onboard new users by reduce friction when authoring or importing existing content.
Optimized for hosting
- Our static site export and publishing workflow means our pages load faster, don’t have any special hosting requirements, and are inherently more secure. Everything is done automatically behind the scenes, so you don’t have to worry about messy configurations.
Better visibility and increased citations
- We follow best-practices for SEO and responsive site design. We broadcast research to a wider audience to increase exposure via SEO strategies customized specifically for academic content. We cross-promote your publications in our reference management system.
Constantly evolving
- Our team can rapidly iterate on new features without dealing with decades of legacy code and design choices. Your feedback could have a profound impact on the evolution of our platform. Our agile development team implement proposed changes directly from our users every day.
