Science Explorer (SciX)

The SciX Team have been deluged by a tidal wave (we regret nothing) of interest at #OSM2026! We're already running low on swag and aren't even half way through the Ocean Sciences Meeting yet, so if you haven't yet seen us, head over to booth 85 ASAP. Excited to meet you all!

Happy Valentine's Day from the SciX Team to our ever expanding research community. We love you with all our heart (and soul nebulae)! Explore more about this loved up couple of nebulae in the Science Explorer platform! https://bit.ly/SciX-Heart (image is IR mosaic from NASA's WISE)

@taramurphy.bsky.social oops, tagging you just in case BlueSky needs that for you to see threaded responses!

Hi Tara! I spoke with the awesome ADS/SciX Team and they confirmed that the latest release included an overhaul of the fonts and overall contrast. Have you been using the platform since we chatted, and do you think it has improved readability and usability? Let us know your thoughts, and thank you!

Hi Tara! Thanks so much for your feedback. The team will have a look at this and get back to you as soon as possible. You can also email help@scixplorer.org or use our feedback form linked here, but we know everyone is busy, so let's see what we can find out for you! scixplorer.org/feedback/gen...

You might have noticed that we're HAVING SOME WEATHER at the moment - so it's the perfect time to catch up with the Science Explorer team at #AMS2026 in Houston, TX, this week! We're at booth 708 - swing by to win some exclusive merch, and don't forget our talk on Wednesday too!

We love to see it too, Peter! Want to make your own? Dive in and explore for yourself at scixplorer.org! #AAS247

On left, 1895 paper by Edward C. Pickering about "A new Star to Centaurus. The new Algol Variable in Delphinus." On right, photograph of a photographic plate negative of sparse star fields. Stars are barely discernible. An illegible handwritten note appears at the top of the plate. One star is circled; another is partially circled. A large question mark is written in the middle right. "123?" is written in the middle left. Most of the markings are black. A third star is circled with a trailing line in red.

Astrophysics Data System (ADS) User Feedback Survey Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on the Astrophysics Data System (ADS) digital library. Your insights will help us improve the platform and better serve the scientific community. All ...

#Astronomers
Let #ADSabs know how they are doing

They value your feedback. However, they are making most improvements to #SciX so let them know if you have tried that as well

A vibrant astronomical image of the Witch Head Nebula (IC 2118) set against a backdrop of deep space filled with countless stars. The nebula features intricate wisps and clouds of gas and dust, highlighted in shades of blue and faint white, creating an ethereal appearance reminiscent of a witch's head. Bright stars punctuate the scene, with larger stars exhibiting a bluish glow. The image is framed with a black border that includes a label with the nebula's name and identifying the image as using data from the STScI Digitized Sky Survey Blue, Red, and Infrared Plates processed into a full color image by Noel Carboni

#SciX makes research more efficient by linking data, code, and publications, so findings can be tested, trusted, and built on faster. More reproducible science, less wasted effort, more discoveries. #OpenScience #ResearchIntegrity #ReproducibleResearch #EfficientResearchWorkflows

Keeping it 100 on the land (geology), the sea (oceanography), the sky (atmospheric science), SciX pledges allegiance to your Open, your FAIR, your API! Explore a broad, connected research landscape with in-built data-viz tools scixplorer.org #TheFateOfSciXplorer #IYKYK

Earth scientists can finally use a NASA ADS-like search system - yay!! If you're not familiar with either of these sites check out SciX - it will make you so much happier when you next have to do literature review 📚😃

Thanks, Hannah! We are quite fond of it too 🥰 We'd love to hear more about how you and your colleagues and collaborators are using our platform! Feel free to share your favourite features, either on social media or via our testimonials form. You can even make a short video! forms.gle/11qcmHQcZEkX...

Congrats new #ChemNobel Laureates, and brilliant collaborators! Can you spot another famous #NobelPrize winner? Explore how metal–organic frameworks (#MOFs) are transforming research in #EnvironmentalScience, #SpaceExploration, and #SustainableMaterials at scixplorer.org

We love our data-viz capabilities, and we love seeing our research community love them too! Thanks for sharing this, @taramurphy.bsky.social. Who else has been using our in-built data-vizualisation tools? Show us your plots 🤩 scixplorer.org

Why change a good thing 😉 We channel our energy into innovations, not renovations! One thing that has changed however is the library. It's now an open and collaborative space with a gorgeous video wall that you'll spot behind Edwin in our launch video on our YouTube channel: youtu.be/sgJ-LolRLu8?...

#SciX is not just papers; it's data and software too, plus all the connections among them.
