FrelsiX is a research paper recommendation platform for Electrical Engineering sciences.

Scholars with expertise in a given topic systematically and periodically sweep through the publications of selected journals. Having selected the papers they find important, they write a short text explaining why and include a summary of the main points. The recommendation can be only positive and includes the rating of one to three stars indicating the excellence of the paper.

For researchers in Electrical Engineering (EE) sciences across all levels of seniority and age. Research institutions and technology companies can also leverage recommendations to stay informed about the latest advances in their fields. Science reporters can learn about the research that should not be missed.

Each paper recommendation includes:

  • Full name and affiliation of the Adviser that recommended the paper.
  • Short text explaining why a paper is worth reading and a quick summary of its key points.
  • Rating of one to three stars indicating its excellence: ★ Good, ★★ Great, ★★★ Must read.
  • Tags helping the readers understand the value of a paper.
  • DOI number for easy citation and reference.

To users are organized in the following way:

  • Topic Heads - community-wide respected specialists in their research areas providing editorial supervision. They manage and appoint the Advisers for each sub-topic to cover the relevant literature with a sufficient extent. 
  • Advisers - outstanding researchers writing the recommendations with quick insights and main points of the papers.
  • Associate Advisers - nominated by the Advisers, they help ensure thorough literature coverage. They can also write recommendations with the assistance of Advisers.
