8 years ago This one is a lot of work. Google cannot index pages that are created with javascript. The workaround for this involves programmatically creating and serving static HTML pages for each of the 288,359 articles on the site. For more info: https://developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling/docs/learn-more
The fastest way to get this feature would be to use a service like https://prerender.io/ which will cost like $15/month depending on how often you want the cache refreshed: https://prerender.io/pricing
currently, i don't believe individual article pages are discoverable via Google searches. for e.g., doing a Google search for "Heightened sensitivity to temperature cues in highly anxiously attached individuals: Real or elusive phenomenon", doesn't reveal the article page on Curate Science (https://www.curatescience.org/beta/#/articles/60035), and this is true even if you add "Curate Science" to the search query.
Another example: "Priming of social distance? Failure to replicate effects on social and food judgments." doesn't yield relevant article page on Curate Science.
This is super important because one of the main personal benefits of contributing to Curate Science that will soon be emphasized in our welcome email, will be that researcher's work will have a higher impact if curated on Curate Science because of increased discoverability, which should lead to higher citations and other impact metrics (see Piwowar & Vision, 2013).
