What Glorea is, in one paragraph Glorea is an academic research platform that replaces the patchwork of tools researchers normally juggle — paper search on one site, a reference manager somewhere else, a project board in a third place, a writing tool in a fourth, a job board in a fifth — with a single integrated workspace. Inside a Glorea project, a research team can discover papers, organize references, co-write documents in real time, run surveys, work on a whiteboard, manage work packages and KPIs, and talk to an AI assistant that has full context of everything in the project. Outside of projects, Glorea is also a discovery surface: over a million research papers indexed, 100,000+ academic jobs worldwide, expert-led courses, a researcher social network, and verified author profiles. It serves individual researchers as well as whole organizations — universities, R&D companies, funding agencies, and scientific recruiters — via dedicated institutional dashboards. --- ## 2. Who Glorea is for ### Individual researchers - **Graduate students.** Find relevant literature faster, manage a thesis as a project with work packages and deadlines, connect with advisors and peers, take methodology and writing courses, apply for postdoc positions. - **Postdocs and early-career researchers.** Build cross-institutional collaborations, track emerging trends in a field, discover postdoc and fellowship opportunities worldwide, start claiming publications under a verified identity. - **Professors and principal investigators.** Manage lab projects, coordinate with a distributed team, supervise students, track KPIs and grant deliverables, stay on top of new papers in the field. - **Industry researchers.** Scout academic talent, monitor state-of-the-art research, partner with universities, track competing labs and papers. ### Research organizations Glorea has purpose-built dashboards and tools for entire institutions, not just individuals. - **Universities.** Course management, research oversight, student dashboards, institutional visibility, alumni tracking, internal collaboration mapping. - **R&D companies.** Automated paper scouting, expert identification, competitive intelligence, partnership discovery. - **Funding agencies.** Portfolio intelligence, reviewer matching, impact assessment, grant outcome tracking. - **Scientific recruiters.** Specialised research profile search, talent pipeline management, candidate shortlisting, outreach tooling. --- ## 3. Core features in depth ### 3.1 Paper discovery Glorea indexes over **1 million research papers** from open and commercial sources. Discovery is built around AI-powered filters rather than keyword-only search. - Full-text and metadata search across titles, abstracts, authors, affiliations, and topics. - Filters for methodology (empirical, theoretical, systematic review, meta-analysis, etc.), citation count, journal rank, publication year, open access status, and language. - Trending analysis surfaces papers gaining citations or mentions quickly in a given field. - Journal rankings view so researchers can prioritise high-quality venues. - One-click save to a Glorea project, reference collection, or reading list. - DOI resolution and PDF preview where publisher policies allow. ### 3.2 AI research assistant Glorea ships with an AI assistant that is **context-aware at the project level**. It reads the documents, references, datasets, and notebooks attached to a project and answers questions grounded in that material, not just in general training data. Typical uses include: - Summarising a set of references to identify gaps in the literature. - Suggesting KPIs and work packages for a newly-created project. - Generating progress reports from the project's recent activity. - Answering "what does this paper say about X?" type questions against the project's reference list. - Drafting sections of a paper, grant proposal, or thesis with citations pulled from the project's own references. - Explaining unfamiliar methods or statistical techniques in plain language. The assistant is integrated into the writing experience, the references manager, and the project dashboard, so researchers can invoke it wherever they already are. ### 3.3 Real-time collaboration Glorea is built as a collaborative workspace from the ground up. Every document, whiteboard, and notebook supports live multi-user editing. - **Live cursors.** See who is in a document with you and where they are editing. - **Co-editing.** Multiple people can write in the same document simultaneously with conflict-free merge. - **Threaded discussions.** Leave comments anchored to a specific paragraph, figure, or cell; replies form a thread. - **Mentions.** `@mention` a project member to notify them about a change or question. - **File sharing.** Drop files into a project and share them with the whole team with read receipts. - **Activity feed.** Every project has a timeline of what was edited, by whom, and when. ### 3.4 Built-in project tools A Glorea project comes with **eight integrated tools** so researchers never have to context-switch to external software for the common parts of their workflow: 1. **Document editor** — for drafting papers, grant proposals, theses, and internal reports. Rich text, equations, figures, citations. 2. **Whiteboard** — for brainstorming, concept maps, experimental design diagrams, and architecture sketches. 3. **Notebooks** — for code and computational analysis. 4. **Surveys** — for fielding research questionnaires to participants or internal teams, with response collection and export. 5. **Calendar** — for project milestones, deadlines, experiment schedules, and meetings. 6. **References manager** — a full citation manager (see section 3.6). 7. **Datasets** — upload, version, and share research datasets inside the project. 8. **Knowledge base** — a private project wiki for protocols, methods documentation, decisions, and onboarding material. All eight tools share the same permission model, activity feed, and AI assistant context. ### 3.5 Project management Glorea projects include lightweight but serious project management tooling — enough for a real research project, without the enterprise PM bloat. - **Kanban boards** for tasks and sub-tasks. - **Work packages** with deliverables, owners, and deadlines. - **KPI tracking** with targets and progress over time. - **Budgets** and simple expense tracking for grant-funded work. - **Deadlines and milestones** visible on the project calendar and dashboard. - **Team roles and permissions** — principal investigator, collaborator, reviewer, guest. ### 3.6 References manager Glorea includes a full academic reference manager as one of the built-in project tools. - **Import** from Zotero, Mendeley, DOI lookup, BibTeX, RIS, and direct paper discovery results. - **Organize** references into collections and sub-collections per project. - **Tag and annotate** references with notes and highlights. - **Cite in one click** from within the document editor, with automatic formatting in common citation styles. - **Export** a bibliography in BibTeX or formatted styles. - **Dedupe** imported libraries to remove duplicates across sources. ### 3.7 Author claiming and verified identity Glorea lets researchers claim their own publications and build a verified research profile. - **ORCID linking** ties the Glorea profile to the researcher's authoritative public identifier. - **Publication claiming** lets authors attach indexed papers to their profile. - **Verified profile** with affiliations, fields of interest, education, and employment history. - **Profile page** that shares a public view of research output, projects, courses completed, and certificates earned. ### 3.8 Jobs and opportunities Glorea aggregates **100,000+ academic positions and research opportunities** worldwide. - **Job types.** Postdoc positions, tenure-track and tenured professorships, industry research roles, research engineer positions, lab technician roles, PhD studentships, master's scholarships. - **Funding and grants.** Open calls for grants, fellowships, and travel awards. - **Calls for papers.** Special issues, conferences, workshops, and symposia. - **Filters.** Field, country, institution type, seniority, funding status, remote / hybrid / on-site, application deadline. - **Saved searches and alerts** so researchers hear about matching openings as they appear. - **One-click apply** where institutions support it. ### 3.9 Courses and certificates Glorea hosts **expert-led video courses** on topics researchers actually need but rarely get in a formal programme. - **Topics.** Research methodology, academic writing, statistics, data analysis, publication strategy, peer review, reproducibility, grant writing, career development, presenting research. - **Format.** Video lessons, quizzes, optional hands-on assignments. - **Certificates.** Verifiable certificates on completion, with a unique credential ID. - **Shareable.** Add certificates to your Glorea profile and share to LinkedIn. - **Institutional use.** Universities and labs can enrol cohorts and track completion. ### 3.10 Social network for researchers Glorea is also a social layer built for researchers rather than a general-purpose feed. - Share findings, preprints, and figures with followers. - Comment on and follow other researchers' work. - Discover collaborators by topic, method, or institution. - Message other researchers directly with professional conversations, file sharing, and read receipts. - Follow trending topics within a field. --- ## 4.
