PubCompare: A Solution for Reproducibility Crisis

Introducing PubCompare, the largest research protocol database dedicated to addressing the growing challenge of reproducibility in scientific research. With over 40 million experimental protocols extracted from peer-reviewed publications, patents, and preprints, PubCompare is revolutionizing how researchers access and compare experimental methods.

The reproducibility crisis has impacted scientific research globally, with many experiments unable to be reliably replicated. At PubCompare, our mission is to provide a robust platform where researchers can effortlessly access, compare, and reproduce experimental protocols, improving the reliability of scientific findings. We aim to be the go-to search platform for research protocols, much like PubMed is for abstracts.

By leveraging our comprehensive research protocol database, scientists can ensure they are following reliable protocols, reducing the risk of errors and improving the transparency of their work.

Searching for protocols has never been easier. PubCompare’s advanced platform allows for efficient and precise keyword searches, powered by AI technology. Our search system includes an auto-complete function and logical operators like AND and OR, making it simple to refine searches for exact keyword matches.

We recommend that users search by keywords rather than full sentences to optimize the accuracy of results. With this focused approach, you’ll receive the most relevant experimental protocols from our vast research protocol database.

Our platform enables users to search for protocols using various filters, including date and the number of shortcut citations. Unlike abstract-level citations, our citation filter focuses on in-protocol citations (the number of time the protocol was cited in other protocols).

This feature allows researchers to quickly find the most relevant and widely used protocols, making it easier to select protocols that are robust and relevant based on their needs.

PubCompare’s semantic analysis tool automatically groups different forms of a keyword, including synonyms and related terms, making it easier to find what you need. It also suggests the most frequent terms associated with your query, helping researchers refine narrow down their search with more precise terms and yielding better results from our database.

To further enhance the user experience, PubCompare provides a sort by feature. Researchers can sort results by relevance, date, or the number of shortcut citations to prioritize the most applicable and up-to-date methods for their work. This level of search flexibility is crucial for those seeking specific protocols that have stood the test of time or are trending in current research.

Here’s how PubCompare can transform your research:

• Access 40 Million Methods: We provide access to an extensive research protocol database containing protocols from peer-reviewed publications, preprints, and patents. Our AI technology extracts and organizes these protocols, making them easily searchable and comparable.
• Save Time with Efficient Search: Our advanced search and filtering options help researchers quickly find the protocols they need, saving valuable time. Instead of combing through endless abstracts, researchers can now spend more time focusing on their core research, knowing they’re using robust, verified methods.
• Increase Reproducibility: By comparing multiple protocols, researchers can confidently choose the best approach to their experiments, improving the reproducibility of their findings. Accessing widely used and cited protocols ensures that you’re building on a solid foundation of proven methods.
