The Global Research Space
A free topographic map of the latest 10M+ research papers
There is so much amazing research being done globally, but the sheer volume of output makes it difficult to comprehend trends. I built The Global Research Space to navigate the vast scientific landscape as a spatial exploration instead of parsing lists! We currently hold 10M+ papers and add over 400k every month (grouped by similarity, time, and relevance), and we offer Prompt Radars to notify users when new papers meet their exact specifications.
Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I'm the Maker of The Global Research Space.
There is so much amazing research being done globally, but the sheer volume of output makes it difficult to comprehend trends. I built TGRS to help navigate the vast scientific landscape as a spatial exploration instead of parsing lists of PDFs!
What is it? - 🗺️ The Interactive Map: We currently hold 10M+ papers, with over 400k added every month. - 🎯 Prompt Radars[beta]: Set up a custom Radar to monitor for new research. The system will notify you the second new papers meet your exact specifications. - 📊 Search and Analytics: We support both semantic and keyword search, which highlights relevant regions on the map, as well as analytics combinations such as ranking: "Top authors from ___ University, published to ___ Journal, relating to Proteomics."
Some Specs? - Sourced the latest 10M papers from OpenAlex. - Generated embeddings using SPECTER 2 on titles and abstracts. - Reduced dimensionality with UMAP, then applied Voronoi partitioning on density peaks to create distinct semantic neighborhoods. - The floating topic labels are generated via custom labeling algorithms (definitely still a work in progress!).
The core map is 100% free to explore with zero login required (you only need an account if you want to save custom Radars).
I am also happy to share that our recent soft launches on Reddit went better than expected, landing as the #1 post in r/MachineLearning and r/SideProject, and currently standing at #3 in r/dataisbeautiful—all with the servers holding strong under nearly a thousand concurrent users! I thought the natural next step was to share it with the PH community.
I would really deeply appreciate any feedback and suggestions!
