Lavild Co., Ltd., a venture from the University of Tsukuba, will officially release "Acrovector", a paper publication and reference platform for computer scientists, on April 2020, 4.

 In the research world, which is one of the legacy industries, "distribution of papers" has three major problems.Difficulty in finding the required papers from a huge number of papers, lack of means to share research results faster and more widely, and soaring paper subscription prices.In order to solve these three problems, "Acrovector" released this time takes two years to simply store and accumulate papers and to scrutinize papers called peer review, just like conventional paper media. Or, do not charge a subscription fee of 3 yen per paper.

 In "Acrovector", we have developed the world's first AI paper analysis system (patent pending) and introduced the classification and analysis of papers.The time to reach the desired paper has been reduced by 80% compared to conventional search engines.In addition, since only pre-reviewed papers are dealt with, research results can be disseminated to the world in just one minute.Posting earlier allows you to record as evidence of the foresight of your ideas, get valuable feedback from researchers around the world, and get early attention through citations.All papers can be published free of charge.

 By consistently and openly publishing the distribution of papers (submission of papers → scrutiny → publication → browsing) online, the digitization of science that has been advocated recently, that is, Science 2.0 (new research that does not rely on Kakenhi) Through services, we will respond to the approaching expansion of research scale such as data intensive science, citizen science, and industry-academia collaboration.

 In the future, we will monitor detailed behavior such as how to acquire and process research data and where to store and provide the data.With the aim of ensuring the reproducibility of research and suppressing research misconduct, we will also enter the field of data security.Furthermore, we aim to lead to the development of international science by providing services not only in Japan but also in developing countries with low economic power by covering the whole world by the end of the year.
