Toro

About

Web-based navigation tool for scientific literature

Toro is an innovative web-based tool designed to visualise and streamline the exploration of the ever-growing body of scientific literature. With over 5 million articles published in 2022 and a notable surge in computer science papers, researchers often face challenges in sifting through vast amounts of content. Feedback from a focus group highlighted these difficulties. Toro addresses these by offering an interactive paper graph, allowing researchers to access, understand, and discover relevant scientific knowledge more efficiently and comprehensively.
