Complete intake
Fill out the short form — about 2 minutes. Combined with how you use the app, this is how we evaluate Sciwire.
Open intake formSciwire Pilot
Everything you need to know.
Dates, how to get started, how to reach us, and a ticket form when something breaks or feels off. No problem is too small.
Pilot timeline
From intake through exit interviews. The green stretch is when we’ll be actively learning from how you use Sciwire.

Demo Day
Live walkthrough of sign-up and onboarding, then Q&A. It will be recorded if you can’t make it.

July 17
Pilot start
Your access goes live. Start using Sciwire in your real research workflow — this is when the learning begins.
~ July 24
Week 1 check-in
A light touchpoint at the end of week one to see how things are going and catch anything that hasn’t made it into a ticket.
~ July 31
Week 2 check-in
Same idea — a quick pulse check mid-pilot. Nothing formal required from you.
~ August 7
Week 3 check-in
Final weekly check-in as the pilot window wraps up — a chance to flag anything still rough.
August 7 onward
End of pilot & exit interviews
We’ll schedule short 1:1 interviews for open-ended thoughts, stories, and anecdotes that don’t always come through in tickets or usage data.
Getting started
Try these first — they unlock most of what Sciwire is built to do.
1
Import your library
Bring in Zotero or Mendeley. This is usually the first thing worth doing.
2
Wander the feed
Skim discovery for a day or two outside your usual habits — that’s where finds show up.
3
Save from the feed
Save your first paper from discovery and watch how it lands in your library.
4
Read and take notes
Open a saved paper, read it in Sciwire, and try capturing notes where you’ll want them later.
5
Cite end to end
Try citing directly from a saved paper to see the full citation workflow.
6
Use Sciwire daily
Like you’re checking the news! Your recommendations will just keep getting better and better.
How to reach us
We read everything ourselves. No support queue, no bot — just us. Use whichever channel is easiest.
Submit a ticket on this page
Best for bugs and feedback we need to track. Creates a ticket that goes straight to us.
Go to ticket form →You can also reach us directly by email or phone — genuinely, calling or texting is totally fine and encouraged, especially if something’s complicated and easier to explain out loud. We work closely as a team, so reach out to whichever of us is easiest — no need to figure out who’s “the right person.”
Quick answers
The questions people usually ask before they start clicking around.
Is my data private?
[privacy answer]
Will this stay free during the pilot?
Yes — pilot access is free, and there’s no hard end date after the pilot either.
What if something breaks or looks wrong?
Tell us immediately — it’s genuinely useful, not annoying. Use the ticket form or reach out directly.
What if I don’t have much time?
Totally fine — use it whenever it’s useful. No minimum expected.

Bugs, confusion, missing features, gut reactions — all welcome. Attach a screenshot or short screen recording if it helps.
