Keeping up with the medical literature should not feel like a second job. Publitera monitors the journals and selected conferences you follow, matches new publications to the topics you care about, and delivers them in focused weekly digests. HOW IT WORKS Choose the journals and conferences most relevant to your work. Describe each interest in your own words. It can be as broad as a disease area or as specific as a therapy, biomarker, trial design, research method, or question you are actively following. Receive a separate weekly digest for each interest, containing only the new matches. Each issue opens with a short brief of what changed, with the standout papers starred. Scan the abstracts and open the original publication when you want the full details. YOUR READING, ORGANIZED Bookmark papers you want to revisit. Browse every past digest in a clean reader. Sync your digests across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. CONFERENCE COVERAGE Important findings often appear at conferences before they reach journals. Publitera includes relevant abstracts from selected major conferences in the same topic-specific digests as your journal papers.
