R3ciprocityBetter ideas. Better decisions. Better research. Let’s play

For curious people, students and researchers

Read. Think. Pick. Discover.

A small prediction can open a much bigger question. Read two research abstracts, choose the paper you think has more citations, then discover both papers. Start a free unsaved round before deciding whether to create an account.

Let curiosity take you somewhere

A useful first step

Less searching in circles. More ideas to follow.

2

abstracts per comparison

A focused question gives you a reason to inspect unfamiliar research, then follow the original papers.

30

unsaved guest choices

Try the game before deciding whether to sign in and keep your progress.

1

useful paper to carry forward

An invitation for your next session, not a measured outcome: find one source, explain why it matters and save it when signed in.

How a round works

Read the two abstracts before the citation reveal. Predict which paper has more citations, inspect the result and follow the source links. A correct prediction concerns recorded citations; it is not a verdict on research quality or future impact.

Find a paper you would not have searched for

A pair can introduce a method, a field or a question outside your usual reading. Look for an idea worth following even when your prediction is wrong. Choose neither when both papers miss your interests.

A useful next step for students and researchers

Use the reveal to ask what the study investigated, how it approached the problem and what you would need to read next. In a seminar, compare your reasoning with other readers rather than treating the score as a grade.

Keep what interests you

Open the original paper and inspect the evidence. Signed-in reading and feedback can help shape later recommendations, and useful papers can be saved to your reading library.
