New research, explained for your work
Research-Watch
Keep up with the research that matters to your work.
Research-Watch finds new papers for each scientist's interests, explains why each one matters to your organisation, and connects it to your own records, so your team spends its reading time on the papers that count.

The problem
Important research is easy to miss. Time is easy to waste.
Scientists cannot read everything published in their field. Existing saved searches, email alerts and word of mouth still leave the team to decide what matters, whether it is reliable, and what it may mean for their own programme.
How it works
A literature watch built around the scientist, not a generic alert.
Research-Watch finds, ranks, explains and maintains a working library so a team can spend its reading time on the papers that count.
Start with each scientist's interests
Scientists describe their own interests and set their relative importance. The ranking shows the matched interests and score—there is no hidden relevance algorithm.
Watch the literature continuously
Research-Watch searches Europe PMC several times a day, including PubMed, PubMed Central and preprint sources such as bioRxiv. Google Scholar alerts can also be brought in.
Explain why a paper matters
For the strongest matches, an AI-written brief explains what the work did, why it may matter to the organisation, and a caution such as preprint status, a small study or a different region or species.
Connect research to your work—carefully
Papers can be linked to relevant species, genotypes and programmes. These links are prompts for a person to check, never evidence about a particular specimen or outcome.
Keep the record current
Retractions, corrections and withdrawals are flagged. Preprints and later journal versions are connected, and saved papers are rechecked weekly.
Improve the signal without losing control
Save useful papers or mark them off-topic. Research-Watch learns from the feedback, and every adjustment can be undone.
Keep the useful work moving.
Receive a weekly digest, export a library to Zotero, EndNote or Mendeley, and keep team notes alongside the papers.
Sources and checks
Four sources. Four distinct jobs.
Research-Watch uses each source for what it does well instead of treating every search result or registry notice as equally reliable.
Europe PMC
New papers are found through one free, official API spanning PubMed, PubMed Central, Agricola and preprint sources such as bioRxiv. It provides abstracts, keywords, licences and the date a paper was first added, helping catch papers that surface late.
Crossref
Crossref is the DOI registry used for publisher licence information, retractions, corrections, expressions of concern and links between preprints and later journal versions. It is not used as the main search because its results are noisier and abstracts can be incomplete; no notice is not proof a paper is sound.
bioRxiv
For bioRxiv and medRxiv preprints, the source API can indicate whether a preprint has since been published in a journal or withdrawn—an additional check when Crossref has not caught up.
Google Scholar alerts
Research-Watch does not query Google Scholar. Scientists may paste in or upload the alert emails they already receive; each paper is then looked up through Europe PMC or Crossref and handled like any other paper.
Scientific integrity by design
Recommendations should make their reasoning visible.
Research-Watch is designed to help people find and understand research—not to hide ranking choices, overstate an AI summary or turn a topic link into scientific evidence.
Visible ranking
Every recommendation shows why it matched the scientist’s interests and how strongly.
Summaries with cautions
AI summaries are labelled, state what source information was available, and tell readers to read the paper before acting.
Careful record links
A species or topic connection is labelled as a link for review, not proof about a specific record.
Respect for copyright
Full abstracts are used only where openly licensed; otherwise Research-Watch presents a short extract and links to the source.

RESEARCH-WATCH · PRODUCT WALKTHROUGH
Who it is for
Research teams with work that needs a better signal.
Research teams
Conservation, restoration and applied-science teams who need their literature attention focused on the work they actually do.
Coral restoration science
Built first around elkhorn and staghorn work, heat tolerance, spawning, assisted breeding, nursery propagation and outplanting.
Programme leaders
People who need a concise, checkable view of what new research may mean for their programme, not another unattended alert feed.
Where it stands
A working product, ready to learn with its first teams.
Research-Watch is a working product, running live literature searches and set up for a first pilot with a coral restoration team. It can run standalone or inside Coral Scientist, Alchemy Loop's coral science workbench. Next: more teams and fields, and a Claude plugin planned for the future.
