### "The "nitty-gritty" search engine" — 4.0/5

> **Gayatri** | *23 February 2022* | Research | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I can customise search, specifically to keywords, that are highly specific. Also it comes free and thats a bonus.
> 
> **Cons**: Notifications on new publications specific to keywords search are not available to users. My institute is also not added in the "access full text" option (I have notified the admin and action is awaited)
> 
> My second best option for free access to publications that can be filtered to the minutest keywords.

> 
> **Pros**: The software is good. Supports with journal articles.
> 
> **Cons**: It should provide facility to download journal articles.
> 
> Good

### "Powerful search tool but lacks some features" — 5.0/5

> **Saranath** | *2 March 2022* | Biotechnology | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I found the R Discovery mobile and web apps to be well designed and user-friendly. I use R Discovery to search for scientific papers relevant to my area of research. As a literature survey tool, the R Discovery platform seems to have a comprehensive database of scientific publications. The topic-based search provides an exhaustive list of relevant papers and the platform is surprisingly good at analyzing my preferences and feedback to customize my feed.
> 
> **Cons**: I found it quite difficult to narrow down the search results, because the R Discovery platform does not have any filters such as Year of Publication (e.g., to check for papers published in the last 2 years) and Type of Publication (e.g., Article, Review, Book chapter). Although the search tool does learn from my feedback, it is time-consuming to provide it because, sometimes, the results run into thousands of papers.

### "Excellent App for Researchers" — 5.0/5

> **Jesse** | *4 February 2022* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Excellent and organized research papers. I always get my daily email for the top read. I am into Geothermal. Machine Learning and Power System.
> 
> **Cons**: Paid paper from other sources. Hence not able to access the papers.
> 
> Excellent.
I would give it 90% as marks. 10% is for a room for improvement
