Academic writing is wild bc you’ll read four articles just to write one sentence.

Anyway, here’s a thread of resources I’ve been using to speed through this review I’m working on:

First up: Connected Papers

This outputs a network graphic, list of titles and abstracts of the most relevant prior and derivative research papers connected to the one you type into the search bar. SO SO useful and much more than just a network of connected citations

Next we have the Scholarcy plug-in for Chrome. I'll note that there's a paid option that's slightly more functional, but the free version has been a Godsend for me. Pin it to your browser, open a paper, hit the button and it outputs a summary of the most important points.

I've also been using the Speechify app/Chrome plug-in. I really really wish there was an Audible-like site for reading academic papers, but Speechify is a great option. It has a really natural sounding voice, especially for an AI.

I almost forgot to include Scite_ which pulls related citations and ... get this ... the CONTEXT in which the paper was cited. It even sorts them based on mentioning, supporting, and contrasting.

All these retweets so imma need y’all to cite this paper when it comes out (especially since it’ll be my first 1st author pub 😩).

In the meantime pls read my other publication on STEM identity, culture, and community… Then #CiteASista #CiteBlackWomen mdpi.com/2313-5778/5/1/8

I don't have a SoundCloud to plug in this viral thread, but I'm the Chief of Comm Dev at @VanguardSTEM and we're giving away $50,000 this summer to literally *any* sort of STEM endeavor. Personal or institutional. No degree required! More here: conversations.vanguardstem.com/hot-science-su…
