The Walden's Paths Project, as part of our philosophy of continual evaluation, seeks out user communities who may find our tool useful. However, our users, in the last few years, have reported a series of common issues and desired features. In order to support our users, we initiated a redesign of Walden's Paths to solve these problems and enable us to rapidly prototype and experiment with features and interfaces. In order to accomplish these goals, we have created a web service that handles the storage and representation of our Path data structure. This service is isolated from user interface layers, allowing multiple interface designs to be implemented on top of the same Path data structures. Our prototype interfaces also represent new areas for Paths such as collaborative work, offline presentation, and mobile computing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
