from the nest of science, where insights incubate and ideas take wing.
ask the experts,
deepen your insights
sci-nest lets users ask authors and researchers direct questions about their papers, fostering deeper understanding and collaboration in the academic community
from the nests, discuss ideasBy forming topic-based or research-focused "nests," users create spaces for meaningful dialogue, peer exchange, and collaborative thinking—laying the groundwork for new insights and cross-disciplinary innovation.
respond to queries,
elevate your work
By engaging with questions and feedback from others, you refine and enhance your research and ultimately amplifying your impact in the academic community
publish breakthroughs,
grow science [planned feature]
When researchers openly publish and discuss their findings, they contribute to the collective progress of science, accelerating learning, influencing real-world change, and inspiring future research directions.
make a nest. use it your way
stuck on a proof or lost in the details?a nest can be your question board.
search the paper on sci-nest and open a new nest with the inquiry label. set who can see it, and let the reaction begin.
your nest becomes a space for answers, hints, and discussion. if the authors are on sci-nest, they'll show up with a badge.

need a space for you team?a nest can be your private mini-lab.
open a new nest, give it a clear title with a short brief on what you want to explore, link one or more papers you're building on, and invite only the collaborators you choose. visibility stays private so only members can enter, and once inside, everyone contributes directly in the nest posting questions, notes, code, and ideas turning it into a focused space for brainstorming, replication, or laying the groundwork before a proposal or paper.

want real feedback on your paper?a nest can be your peer-review corner.
find your paper on sci-nest, open a new nest with the feedback label, and add a short note about what kind of critique you're looking for, invite specific people by username or email, share a private link, or make it public. once it's live, others can join your nest with their thoughts, questions, and suggestions.
also, you can even claim yourself as an author on sci-nest, build your own profile page and share it with others.

need a space for your research notes?a nest can be your daily logbook.
make a nest, add the papers you're working on, and keep your notes, highlights, and ideas organized in one private space. you can keep it private now, and open it to collaborators whenever you want.

nests are not categories, they're possibilities.
when we say nests are not categories, we mean that they are not rigid boxes where your work must fit predefined labels like “paper,” “question,” or “note.” instead, a nest is an open structure: you can shape it to be feedback on a draft, a place to untangle a confusing proof, a private team lab, or a personal notebook. in other words, a nest doesn't tell you what it is, you decide what it becomes.

calling them possibilities captures that flexibility. a nest can start as one thing and later evolve into another: a private notebook might grow into a collaboration, or a question might develop into a project space. unlike categories, which are fixed and exclusive, nests are adaptive, fluid, and shaped by how you and others use them. so the point is: a nest is not a filing cabinet, it's an incubator. it's not about classifying your work, it's about giving it room to grow.
