Next-gen Discovery tool for Researchers: Dimensions.ai

We have REALLY exciting news for you!  We’re proud to be part of a collaborative effort to create a new discovery platform designed to break down barriers to discovery and innovation – Dimensions!

Dimensions website cover

Dimensions developed through a dynamic collaboration across Digital Science and six of its portfolio businesses (Altmetric, Figshare, Symplectic, DS Consultancy, ÜberResearch & ReadCube) plus a robust list of 100+ community development partners.

What does this all mean? 

Dimensions is built for the community, by the community.

Dimensions builds off many of the features already available in ReadCube (like Enhanced Reading, citations, search) and added more data types and search capabilities, robust facetings, new metrics plus a fantastic level of data mapping.

Here are just a few things you can do within Dimensions:

  • Search and find the latest literature: with the help of advanced filters and metrics to clear out the noise.
