| Challenge: | Several software tools are available to help researchers perform tasks such as searching for papers, assessing applicants for a research position and keeping track of papers published on topics of interest. |
| Approach: | They introduce a graph database of academic literature with an intuitive schema and query language . they open source the demo code to help other researchers develop applications that build on it . |
| Outcome: | The proposed tool can be used to find experts on a given topic for peer review, find indirect connections between biomedical entities, and compute citation-based metrics. |
