The goal of this project is to build reading and searching tools for the scientific literature based around open-access, online content. We have integrated eLife Lens with the open-access portion of the PubMed Central database, and have built a search interface wrapped around PubMed itself.
To see the tool in action visit http://www.oa-sandbox.org.
Most importantly, this project is intended as an experiment in how the scientific literature can work in a web-connected world. If you have an idea for how to make it better, fork the project and try it. No coding experience? Or open an issue and make your suggestion.
