ReFigure Aims to Connect Scientific Insights
eLife announced the beta launch of ReFigure, an open source Chrome extension and website that helps users link, share, and curate scientific findings across their own data and publishers’ websites and repositories. It currently supports research materials from eLife, PLOS, PubMed Central (PMC), and figshare.Co-creators Girija Goyal and James Akin write, “ReFigure was born from an idea that research outputs should be incremental, immediately connected to published findings and not confined to the websites of individual journals. … The entries captured by ReFigure could link reproduced experiments, compile studies using a reagent of interest or highlight a novel connection between two studies.” For more information, read the blog post.
