About Sciweavers
Sciweavers is a bookmarking network for researchers to share links to the most significant and effective research tools and materials on the web such as publications, source code, presentations, tutorials, lecture notes, books, datasets, research news, and much more. The mission of Sciweavers is to promote significant work and researcher visibility.
Why Sciweavers?
Sciweavers has been developed to solve the following concerns faced by most researchers.
When conference X made the accepted paper list available on its website, some paper titles may capture my attention, so I look for those papers by searching the web. While some authors would make the paper available immediately on their websites for visibility, others would do that later or after they finish the final camera ready, or may not at all. So, I have to repeat that search several times until the conference proceedings DVD is available. This process is time consuming.
On Sciweavers, we have developed our technology that would crawl the web regularly searching for the preprints of conference X and then publish the links on a dedicated page. Currently, we are crawling for top ranked conferences. If we are missing some, please remind us and we would make them available for you on Sciweavers. DEMO
After I attended a conference, I usually remember couple of papers, mostly orals, but I know that there are great posters. So, I start browsing the DVD for paper titles that have some keywords related to my research. Not only, it is a time consuming and tiring process, but also sometimes the paper title is irrelevant to its content.
Since our brain interprets images faster than words, On Sciweavers, every post is associated with a small thumbnail that gives you a quick hint about what the paper is about or how good its results. We have provided you with an immersive 3D widget that would allow you to quickly locate related work or brain storm new research ideas. DEMO
I did not attend conference X. I was wondering what are the hot papers there or what people are after nowadays. Or, I am a graduate student looking for a new research point. Or, I have authored a paper there and would like to know how my paper is doing compared with competing papers.
On Sciweavers, we sort the papers of conference X by number of views. However, we give you the flexibility to sort them using different criteria such as most viewed, most voted, most discussed, most impact, most lab visit, etc. We also promote the first ranked paper of every criterion to the wall of fame.

I would like to track the traffic of all my papers. I also would like to automatically extract useful information out of the traffic pool.
On Sciweavers, every post is associated with a traffic counter that lists your visitors in terms of countries, academic institutions, and search engine queries that lead to your post. Also, the aggregate traffic of all your posts will be encapsulated into a fancy gadget that is located in your profile page as well as can be embedded into your own website. Profile DEMO Embed DEMO
I have created a nice tutorial long time ago, but no search engine has indexed it yet. I do not know what to do?
On Sciweavers, we make every attempt to improve the quality of traffic from search engines. Therefore, by sharing a link to your website post from Sciweavers, we indirectly let search engine be aware of your academic resource.
I am a research scientist. I have been asked to develop an application. There are several recent methods in literature. All of them claim they work. I do not have time to implement useless method. If those who implemented the method could leave their feedback about the paper somewhere.
On Sciweavers, we have provided a discussion board beneath each post to allow researchers discuss their concerns, feedback, or implementation details. DEMO
Sometimes, I may find it difficult to learn a classical theory or a well developed algorithm until I find the right book, tutorial, lecture note, publication, or even a presentation. If someone could save my time and point me to the right resource.
On Sciweavers, we focus more on content rather than citations. Therefore, we provide researchers with a centralized hub, where they can vote and discuss great work. We also enable them to browse those resources using different criteria such as most voted, most viewed, most impact, country traffic, university traffic, keyword traffic, etc. Therefore, great works are expected to float, while less significant works would sink.
