Dr. Manolis Adamakis

Assistant Professor @ National and Kapodistrian University of Athens

PubCompare allows to efficiently compare multiple research publications side-by-side. This can be particularly useful when evaluating studies on similar topics or treatment approaches. I can quickly identify key methodological differences, outcome measures, and results across studies. Also, PubCompare helps in avoiding duplicate research

Dr. Elena Cecilia Rosca

Professor @ Victor Babes University of Medicine and Pharmacy Timisoara

PubCompare.ai has proven to be a very useful tool in my research work. I have used it to find and compare protocols for extracting bioactive substances from food industry residues and protocols for determining the presence of bioactive substances in the extracts and their antioxidant activity.

Dr. Mirela Planinić

Professor @ Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek

A repository platform for experimental protocols is vital for researchers because it facilitates reproducibility and transparency in scientific research. By sharing their protocols, researchers can collaborate more effectively, accelerate scientific progress, and avoid duplication of effort. Furthermore, open access to protocols fosters confidence in the results and allows for more rigorous evaluation of research quality. This transparency promotes a strong scientific culture and helps avoid bias and errors. In short, such a platform improves the efficiency and integrity of my research.

Dr. Rosa María Cárdaba García

Professor and researcher @ Universidad de Valladolid

PubCompare is the first search engine devoted to real experimental protocols. Up to now, I searched for protocols in PubMed, and that was not at all convenient, nor efficient. I have used PubCompare only a few times, but each time I did find the protocol I was looking for.

Dr. Germain Rousselet

Research Director @ CEA

Registration of a study and publication of a protocol has now become expected in health sciences, both at primary and meta-research levels. Robust, trustworthy, available, and searchable protocols are key ways to improve transparency and minimize research waste. PubCompare fills this gap in protocol processing.

Maciej-Plaszewski

Dr. Maciej Płaszewski

Professor @ University of Physical Education

PubCompare is easy to use, exceptionally scientists friendly. Results of the search e.g. papers applying searched protocol provide detailed list of publications and all of them fall within the scope of the search. The search is precise and there are no misleading papers that do not provide method of the interest listed. The platform allows one to use already suggested keywords to narrow the search and find the protocols used for specific experimental model, matter to be studied or study design.

davor-zeljezic-3337

Prof. Davor Zeljezic

Senior Scientific Advisor @ Institute for Medical Research and Occupational Health

Designing valuable and rigorous research protocols is necessary and particularly important for effectively carrying out my job. In this context, PubCompare is particularly promising as it helps find robust protocols, benefiting research outcomes and, as a consequence, clinical efforts as well.

Dr. Gabriele Masi

Head of the Unit Complex of Neuropsychiatry @ IRCCS Stella Maris Foundation

It enables users to compare protocol sections across publications swiftly. PubCompare still gives scientists the freedom to design their protocols based on extensive information. The notable aspect of this platform is that it incorporates AI for detecting, comparing, and evaluating the reproducibility of protocols using in-protocol citations.

ivica-djalovic-9661

Dr. Ivica Djalovic

Principal Research Fellow @ Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops, National Institute of the Republic of Serbia

There is continuous development of methodologies, so researchers are typically interested in having the best protocol for new experiments, i.e. a community protocol. Having historical protocols of course have a value in looking at the past experiments, especially in addressing the inconsistencies among experiments.

Dr. Frank Kiwanuka

Assistant Professor @ University of Eastern Finland

PubCompare seems to be a promising tool to find relevant protocols among large databases, which is clearly important in terms of efficiency, saving time by quickly identifying protocols that match my specific research needs. The idea of accessing protocols from reputable sources also minimizes the risk of using flawed or outdated methodologies in future studies.

Rita-Cordovil-300×300

Dr. Rita Cordovil

Assistant Professor @ University of Lisbon

PubCompare is a unique, gap filling and ideal tool for researchers optimizing new experimental protocols or checking similar literature data for the discussion part of a manuscript, as well as for methodological or other reviews. You must absolutely try it!

Dr. Stavros Chatzifotis

Research Director @ Hellenic Centre for Marine Research

This platform is very helpful in fast tracking of research protocols (and you a get large number of similar protocols and findings) concerning the factors and variables an individual researcher is looking for, and at once you are linked to the published study and can get acquainted with the whole text. This reduces the time for literature review and ties the researcher exactly with the things that he needs to gain some background knowledge about the research they are going to undertake.

Prof. Michal Bronikowski

Head of Department of Physical Activity @ Poznan University of Physical Education

I work with a team in experimental fields, and we have often found out that performing experiments according to the protocols included in the manuscripts is not easy. We often waste time and money on expensive reagents and the results are poor. Therefore, access to a database of proven protocols would be very desirable and useful for the entire scientific community.

Prof. Alicja Wegrzyn

Director of the Phage Therapies Center @ Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics Polish Academy of Sciences

A platform that includes study protocols of different backgrounds is relevant not only to register the study but to consult the protocols. This is quite important when developing the protocols/studies to replicate all methodological procedures or to create new ones.

Rafael-Oliveira-113-300×300

Prof. Rafael Oliveira

Professor @ Polytechnic Institute of Santarém

PubCompare is a useful tool that helps us to carry on a review of the state of the art regarding used protocols in previous research and enables you to identify how successful these were by identifying how many times these protocols have been cited.

My research team and I were often hoping to be able to access an online protocol database. PubCompare is a very welcome development and a great source to look for protocols. We look forward to its developing features and improvements.

Jorg-Fritz-2

Jorg Fritz

Director @ McGill Research Center on Complex Traits (MRCCT)

The last days I was doing the same search using search engines I am more familiar with, i.e. google, scopus & pubmed. The response I got [with PubCompare] was closer to what I was looking for and there were no irrelevant hits, which saved a lot of time. I managed to make a step forward and moved to the next part of the proposal.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
