researchXchange™ - An AI-driven, vertical social network for the scientific community The Problem: Rampant COVID misinformation and its devastating consequences for public health have dramatically demonstrated the dysfunctional nature of existing systems for connecting the scientific community to collectively evaluate and disseminate emerging research. The Opportunity: Three major trends make this the ideal moment to introduce a social networking platform for the scientific community to find, share, discuss, and evaluate emerging research. 1. The rise of preprints and open science backed by federal and international agencies as well as independent funding organizations. 2. The failure of existing social networks to serve the needs of the scientific community, science media, and the science interested public, particularly the demise of Twitter. 3. The demonstrated need for a tool capable of accurately and rapidly evaluating emerging science in real time. The Solution: DropCite has been building its researchXchange™ platform for three years to address this problem and capitalize on these opportunities. It provides: - Curated content - Seamless integration with existing tools for compiling and reading research - Tools for open interactive discussion of emerging research with leading researchers at a global level
