Intro to SciX and FAIR principles

Open science is a collaborative culture that shares research artifacts and knowledge to accelerate scientific knowledge development.
The FAIR principles provide a framework for making scientific artifacts, especially data, more discoverable and usable.
SciX makes data Findable by assigning unique, persistent identifiers and indexing rich metadata.
SciX ensures Accessibility through standardized retrieval protocols and a robust API.

SciX enables effective author and keyword searches with powerful synonym expansion.
Facet filters help narrow down results by author variants, institutional affiliation, and publication date.
The abstract view provides in-depth details and links to additional resources.

SciX offers powerful tools that operate on sets of documents to assist you in analyzing the literature.
Similar() identifies items that are textually similar: find more like ….
Useful() analyzes reference lists: what will help me with ….
Reviews() analyzes citation lists: what has this contributed to …
The Paper Network groups papers topically through their references: how could I narrow my topic? what am I missing?
The Author Network identifies groups through co-authorship: what collaborations are working in this field? what is that lab producing?

SciX encourages authors to identify themselves and claim their work with ORCiDs.
Users can search SciX for people using ORCiDs.
Users can use SciX search tools to find their papers without ORCiDS and claim them.
SciX will communicate users’ claims to ORCiD.
