SocioLens Pro (planned): join the waitlist

SocioLens Pro is a plan, not a product. Nothing is built yet, no price is set and no payment is taken. Reading SocioLens stays free and open.

What stays free

Everything that changes the public record stays free and open to everyone: every debate, claim, source, version and research opportunity, the Atom feeds and the monthly newsletter. There is no paywall.

What is planned

Interpreted alerts and opportunity watch

Alerts that a new paper exists are already available elsewhere. The plan is an alert that says what a new paper means for what SocioLens already records: whether it supports or challenges a claim, whether it answers part of an open question, and whether it covers part of a research opportunity you are working on, with a fresh check of whether that work has already been done. Each alert would be SocioLens's reading of the paper, marked as such, until it is checked against the source.

Commissioned opportunity briefs and evidence maps

For a question or a field you name: a dated brief with a fresh check of whether the work has already been done, possible research designs, data and the key literature in BibTeX. Or an evidence map of a country or a sector, made with the same method as the debates: claims, what they do not show, and what is still unknown.

Neither has a start date.

Join the waitlist

The waitlist is not open yet. It opens with the email updates when SocioLens launches. Until then, you can follow the site with its Atom feeds.
