[GOAL] Announcing: $850k grant from Arcadia Fund to build new scholarly search engine for public

[Jason Priem]

Hi all,
Thought you might be interested in this new OA project!

This scholarly search engine will be a little different than the (many)
already out there: it's aimed at a nonspecialist audience of citizen
scientists, patients, K-12 teachers, and so on.

To do that we'll need to rely not just on OA, but also on a set of
AI-powered systems that help explain and contextualize articles, providing
concept maps, automated plain-language translations (think automatic Simple
Wikipedia <https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page>), structured
abstracts, and so on.

The goal is that by making the products of research *accessible* (in every
sense of the word) to the public, we can help deliver on some of the bolder
promises of OA to really transform knowledge.

More info is at http://gettheresearch.org. Would love to hear any
criticisms, suggestions, and ideas!

Apologetically cross-postingly yours,
Jason
