ETHER

Create Radar

Define a topic, choose literature sources, and configure weighted signals for a living research radar.

Define topic

Topic: Urban microbiome surveillance

Track built-environment microbiomes, metagenomics, AMR, pathogen surveillance, and environmental sequencing.

urban microbiomemetagenomicsAMRwastewater

Add negative filters

Remove irrelevant results with terms such as soil only, agriculture only, or non-microbial ecology.

Choose sources

Select PubMed, bioRxiv, medRxiv, Crossref, OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar, ClinicalTrials.gov, NIH Reporter, or patents.

Configure priority signals

Choose what makes a paper important: recency, keyword match, citation velocity, watchlists, funding, methods, clinical relevance, and open science.

Adjust weights

Use sliders for Recency 30%, Keyword relevance 25%, Citation velocity 15%, Journal priority 10%, Author watchlist 10%, and Open data/code 10%.

Publish dashboard

Save a unique radar URL, subscribe to email/RSS alerts, export results, or fork a public radar.

Biomedical sources

PubMed, bioRxiv, medRxiv, ClinicalTrials.gov, NIH Reporter.

Scholarly graph

Crossref, OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar, citation context, and metadata coverage.

Commercial signal

Optional patents, company-linked papers, translational biomarkers, and platform technologies.
