Description

Science Explorer (SciX) is a cross-disciplinary discovery platform and outreach program that connects literature, data, and software across astronomy, planetary science, heliophysics, and related fields. The platform is developed under a NASA collaboration, and supports open-science through linking between research, advanced search (including similarity and trend exploration), visual analytics for authors and topics, shareable libraries, and alerting. Complementary outreach components such as ambassador activities, modular tutorials, and classroom-ready kits, help educators and communicators translate current research into engaging learning materials. During this presentation I will present the core capabilities of this digital library of space science, practical search strategies, and examples of tools which show how SciX accelerates research, teaching, and public engagement.
