Referencing, dereferencing and ranking methods

Sources include Pubmed, Arxiv, Biorxiv, Medrxiv, Twitter and many others. It filters out predatory journals. You can ask to be referenced or dereferenced using the Contact form.

PaperRank

The PaperRank algorithm analyzes the feedback publications have been having on the Alviss platform and the Web in general including social media and citations in other publications. When the feedback is positive the rank of a given publication improves. Ranking is applied in the recommendation system of the scientific watch functionality of the Alviss application and in the search engine.

By default, the search engine ranks articles by their relevance. No commercial agreement influences the ranking of publications in the search engine.

Home page

The Home page shows new articles' information in a condensed format with a horizontal navigation. Upon clicking on a section or an article you will navigate deeper into the site with more information displayed to you in a vertical format.

Your domains section

Alviss uses algorithms to recommend the best and recently published publications based on your domains of interest and the estimated quality of the publications. The recommendation system takes into account your interaction with the Alviss platform.

For example if you liked (clicked on a button) a publication Alviss will try to find similar content.
