Overview

A scientific papers recommendation tool.

Keeping on top of the latest most interesting scientific publications can be hard. With so many papers and preprints coming out every week, how much time do you want to spend picking the most relevant ones?

Refy downloads the latest preprints from biorxiv and arxiv and checks them against a library of papers you've previously read to select the most relevant preprints for you.

There's other literature recommendation systems out there that aim to facilitate keeping up with the literature (e.g., meta.org, inciteful, scite.ai), but these generally work using keywords to select papers of interest. This usually is not specific enough and you end up sifting through lots of unrelated papers to find an interesting one. Other softwares use one single reference paper instead and look for other papers similar to that. That's better, but it's not great...

Refy's very easy to install and use (see User guide) and you can even automate your literature updates even more. Have fun and get in touch with questions, bugs or suggestions on GitHub.
