For those asking, we are honored that @qedScience has recreated our system, but we will aggressively defend our patents on “Automated methods to rank scientists without having to read their papers”
With 50,000 journals, it can be difficult to efficiently determine a paper's Impact Factor. That's why we're excited to announce Impact Shade, a partnership with all major scientific publishers, that lets you determine if a paper is worth your time w/out having to read any words!
But Impact Shade is about more than evaluating individual papers. It's about evaluating scientist too. Using our Impact Shading tool, you can automatically color your own CV - or some else's!! Think about how much easier it will be to screen candidates for jobs or funding.
Preprints are great... in theory. They get science out fast and without paywalls. But what good is a free archive of all scientific knowledge without journals to tell you which papers are worth your time, and without impact factors to tell you who to hire?
