Uncover the Invisible

Academic search powered by signal detection algorithms

Discover citations-that-never-were but should have been. Our algorithms identify research mirages—papers widely discussed but never formally cited—and create antennas that catch underground signals, revealing dense clusters of hidden influence that traditional databases miss entirely.

✨ The Wow Moment

A PhD student searches their topic and sees a spiderweb visualization showing 47 papers that heavily cited their work informally (in blogs, talks, later papers) but never in bibliographies—suddenly their 'uncited' paper has a hidden impact score of 89th percentile, and they can message those researchers directly.

🔍 Signal Detection

Advanced algorithms identify informal citations across blogs, conference talks, working papers, and social media mentions.

🕸️ Network Visualization

Interactive spiderweb graphs reveal hidden influence patterns and underground citation clusters.

📊 Impact Analytics

Discover your true academic reach with hidden impact scores that capture what traditional metrics miss.

đź“§ Direct Outreach

Connect directly with researchers who cite your work informally but haven't added you to their bibliography.
