<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Comment: This is a VERY ambitious goal, even for an $850,000 project; this strikes me as Google-size ambition that calls for a Google-size budget (but I would be happy to be proved wrong).

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Question: if this succeeds, what is the long-term business strategy? To date, developing interesting projects then selling to Elsevier seems to be the go-to business plan (Mendeley, SSRN, bepress, Plum Analytics...).
What's your plan?</p>

<div>Hi all,</div>
<div>Thought you might be interested in this new OA project!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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
<a href="https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page" id="LPlnk256785" class="OWAAutoLink" previewremoved="true">
Simple Wikipedia</a>), structured abstracts, and so on.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The goal is that by making the products of research <i>accessible</i> (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.</div>
<div><br>
</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>Apologetically cross-postingly yours,</div>
