About
A professional network built around what scientists actually do: read, cite, and argue about the literature.
Effective 27 July 2026
What Scienced is
Scienced is a social network for researchers. You can post about your work, cite papers by DOI or arXiv id and have them resolve into real reference cards, keep public reading lists, join journal clubs, and follow the people whose work you care about.
Citing is deliberately separate from liking. A like says you enjoyed something; a cite says you used, built on, or will reference it. Those are different claims and the interface keeps them apart.
What the Papers rankings are — and are not
Papers ranks recent arXiv preprints using a language model as a judge, comparing papers only within one category and one frozen methodology. The full method, including the model, prompt, and rubric, is published at Papers methodology.
These rankings are AI-generated discovery signals. They are not peer review, they are not factual verification, and they are not a substitute for reading the paper. A high score means a model found the paper’s stated contribution comparatively strong against others in its category that week — nothing more.
Who operates it
Scienced is operated by [OPERATOR LEGAL ENTITY].
