Lead UX designer, @mikemorrison.bsky.social also studies interface design for scientists.
He used @curvenote.com SCMS to host his own journal, Science UX: real DOIs, Google Scholar indexing, + more, published in one command.
Same platform for a single researcher or a large publisher. Here's how 🎥

A budding discipline around how science gets read and judged - Aris
Scholarly publishing spent thirty years arguing about access. It has barely begun arguing about what readers do with the paper once they have it. At Aris we call that second argument scholarly interfa...

If we want to improve scientific poster sessions, we have to get good at measuring them.
So I went to Europe's largest liver science conference and attempted to measure how scientists browse posters.
Findings soon. Watch the walkthrough:

Love to see this @elife.bsky.social article using short titles for the thumbnail card and also a takeaway-title for the full article.
This helps you skim & decide on thumbnails faster, and learn from the article itself sooner (if people only read the title, make the title a lesson).

I really love this interface. It solves more than just visualization (which is already huge), it effectively makes searches more reproducible. Would love to publish an article (or later, a study!) on it in the fledgling scienceUX.org journal.
