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 πŸ“šπŸ˜ƒ

Thanks, Hannah! We are quite fond of it too πŸ₯° 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...

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 πŸ˜‰ 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?...

Our biggest challenges don’t fit neatly into one field - and neither should their solutions. #SciX connects knowledge across disciplines, making it easier for researchers to share insights, combine methods, and spark unsiloed breakthroughs. #InterdisciplinaryResearch #OpenScience

Matthew is part of our awesome Advisory Board! As many of us as possible met for our quarterly meeting in June at the CfA. We grabbed some time with everyone there! The board brings a broad range of research experiences to help us shape our strategic development: scixplorer.org/scixblog/sci...

Astronomers have long been blessed by the existence of #ADS - excited for the new @scixcommunity.bsky.social platform, expanding to other disciplines - developed via NASA #openscience funding. Look forward to trying it out! πŸ”­πŸ§ͺ

Thanks so much for sharing the love, Sarah! Tell all of your friends and collaborators, and let us know if we can pop along to your communities virtually or in person to run any on-boarding workshops. We're also developing our training hub offering with some self-paced tutorials, so watch this space

We hear you! Hope you get on with the new SciX platform, and please do feed back with your thoughts. Made by scientists, for scientists, one of our founding values is that we make platforms that are as useful as they can possibly be, to help researchers achieve the greatest societal impact.

ADS has given astronomy THE BEST literature tools available anywhere. I almost never have to use the garbage that other academics have to suffer through (GoogleScholar, JSTOR, LexisNexis, WoS, PubMed...)

Literally anytime I have to interface with those tools I weep
