SciCommons Fullstack Development and AI Features

SciCommons is an open source platform for researchers to interact, review, and discuss scientific papers. My project focuses on making the platform a more powerful tool for daily research. I will build a browser extension that lets users import articles instantly from sites like arXiv, PubMed, and Nature. I will also build an AI summarization feature using locally hosted Ollama models to help researchers process papers faster. To keep the site fully accessible for everyone, I will expand our automated testing coverage using PlayWright and Axe-core. Finally, I will integrate real-time social feeds on home page and a new split-pane preprint viewer to improve how we discover and read research papers.
