Building blocks and your library

Building blocks of the Universe

Studies - project pages

Studies are your project pages in the Findest Universe. The place where you can structure and organise the scope of your research and innovation projects. They can act as the central page of your research activities to collect conclusions, compare different entities, and organise your information.

Tip! Use your studies as the main page of your project, where underneath you can add substudies and/or entities.

Entity pages are the pages that explain about a specific topic, solution or technology. You can see them as Wikipedia-style pages. Like studies, Entities pages can be placed in a page category that specify the character of the entity such as material, technology, competitor, ingredient etc. At Findest we define entities as a means to an end, in which the study describes the context the means operates.

Tip! You can link entities to multiple pages, this is a very handy way to observe where there are connections between present, past and future projects.

Documents are categorized in three groups scientific articles as “Science”, "Patents", and "Webpages". The Findest Universe automatically recognizes the document type when they are added through the browser plugin or IGOR^AI.

Tip! You can manually add documents by providing their URL, Patent Number, or DOI through the “CREATE NEW” button in the top right corner.

Inbox

The Inbox is your personal environment where all documents such as webpages, patents, and science articles are stored when you add them through the browser plugin, manually, or with IGOR^AI. You can see the inbox as your personal bookmark environment. Documents saved in your inbox without highlights or no connections to entity and study pages are not visible to your colleagues in your Universe.

Library

The library is your access point to all the information and knowledge in your Universe. The library is organised into three types of knowledge levels: Documents (e.g. scientific articles, patents and webpages), Entities (e.g. technologies or organisations) and Studies (literature studies, experiments, characterization studies).
