Turn any research topic into a live literature radar.
ETHER helps researchers, labs, biotech teams, and scientific communities track emerging papers using customizable literature sources, weighted signals, and ranked dashboards.
RNA virus discovery in metagenomes
Live dashboard preview: ranked papers, signal scores, trends, clusters, alerts, and sources.
How A Radar Gets Built
No YAML required at first. ETHER generates a starter radar that can be tuned visually or exported as config.
1Enter a topic
Start with a field, disease, method, organism, or research question.
2Tune the signal
Choose sources, search terms, signal categories, and scoring weights.
3Publish the radar
Save, clone, export, and monitor a live dashboard.
Scientific Intelligence Workflow
Search broadly, score what matters, and publish a monitorable radar.
Create From Template
Each template changes default sources and scoring categories.
Biomedical Science
PubMed, bioRxiv, medRxiv. Disease relevance, method novelty, clinical translation.
Computer Science / AI
arXiv, Semantic Scholar. Benchmarks, model architecture, code availability.
Climate Science
CrossRef, arXiv, agency feeds. Regional signal, model update, policy relevance.
Chemistry
CrossRef, PubMed, arXiv. Synthesis method, catalyst, assay, application.
Materials Science
CrossRef, arXiv. Structure-property signal, fabrication, characterization.
Public Health
PubMed, medRxiv, CDC/WHO feeds. Outbreak relevance, policy relevance, population scale.
Custom Field
User-defined sources, terms, signals, weights, and export formats.
Radar Builder
Define the topic, sources, queries, signal categories, and weights.
1. Define the topic
2. Choose sources
3. Define search queries
4. Define signal profile
What should ETHER prioritize?
5. Adjust weights
Outputs And Exports
Radars should be useful in the web app, at the command line, and inside academic workflows.
