Problem
Researchers often struggle to keep up with the growing volume of scientific preprints across multiple disciplines, making it difficult to identify high‑impact work without spending extensive time browsing scattered repositories.
Solution
Unpeer aggregates newly posted preprints into a single discovery platform and organizes them into monthly curated “lenses” that focus on specific research areas such as Genetics & Genomics or AI & Computational Biology. Each lens presents a concise selection of ten recent papers, while a separate “Top Preprints” list ranks papers by an impact score derived from usage signals. The service operates without advertisements or data selling, relying only on anonymous analytics to refine recommendations, enabling researchers to quickly locate relevant, high‑visibility studies.
Target Audience
Primary users are academic researchers, graduate students, and scientific professionals who need efficient access to emerging preprint literature across various fields.
