Open RI (Research Intelligence) tools are web-applications for researchers that can help with questions regarding research metadata, such as "is my research cited in clinical trials?".
Commercial applications offer these insights as well, but they are usually closed systems, contradicting the premise of open science. We use open databases such as OpenAlex to offer an alternative platform, involving researchers in the development process. Want to contribute?.
All tools are created with Panel and other tools within the HoloViz ecosystem.
There are two ways to run the tools in your browser:
- as static websites (client-side, no server)
- as hosted web applications (server-side)
Before using the applications, read our disclaimer.
Then follow the links in the table below, not all applications are currently available:
| Tool | Application | Website |
|---|---|---|
| Citations in clinical trials | No | Yes |
| Collaboration with global south | No | Yes |
| Coauthor network | No | No |
The coauthor network tool is currently unavailable. This is a demonstration of a search followed by an investigation of the network:
For the static websites, we use Progressive Web Apps which allows you to install each application on your computer.
e.g. follow the instructions for Chrome.
Whether you are a researcher with ideas for (new) tools or a developer with improvement suggestions, please let us know by creating an issue. If you would like to contribute by writing code yourself, awesome, follow this guide.
Data quality
We rely on external data sources which means that we cannot guarantee accuracy and completeness. Therefore, we recommend using the information provided by our applications as merely an indication and not a single source of truth.
Availability
Websites
- this deployment uses Pyodide
- be patient: every time an app/page is loaded, Python and all dependencies are fetched and installed
Hosted web applications (currently not supported)
- availability is limited: all applications share 1000 hours/month
- eco: if an app hasn't been used in the last 30 mins, it goes to sleep and needs some time to start up
- the server isn't able to handle many users simultaneously so it might occasionally slow down
