Every article you meant to read, saved and ready for journal club

Personal ResearchStreams accounts are free, so you can try the basic system today.

Sound familiar?

What we hear from clinicians and researchers using standard approaches

Common frustrations with the usual tools and workarounds — the gaps ResearchStreams is built to close.

I find a great paper between patients, and by the evening it's lost in a sea of open tabs.
Bookmarks, emailed links and screenshots don't add up to a library you can search.
Keeping up with PubMed in my specialty feels like a second job.
Running the same searches again and again takes time a clinical schedule doesn't have.
Before every journal club, I'm digging through old emails for the article we agreed on.
When a team's reading is scattered across inboxes and chats, preparing a discussion means starting over.
