“Research with potential for impact” database⁠

Basic proposal

The Unjournal is considering building, curating and hosting resources listing and discussing

Research in our domain (~quant. social science/economics) that shows potential for strong global impact

Research that we are currently considering commissioning for Unjournal evaluation

Research areas

These are indexed by field and cause/outcome area. E.g. “the economics of transformative technical change”. We may focus first on areas that seem relatively neglected in academia, such as “social science and economics informing animal welfare”.

As an example, see the Zotero list (work in progress)

here⁠

⁠

Platforms and tools

We will try to leverage existing recommendation engines, tools, and platforms, and integrate with existing initiatives where possible. These may include, e.g.

⁠

Zotero | Your personal research assistant⁠

(again, see the list

here⁠

)

⁠

NEP: New Economics Papers⁠

⁠

Semantic Scholar Academic Graph API | Semantic Scholar⁠

⁠

Sciety⁠

⁠

Open Philanthropy ‘living literature reviews’ (e.g.,

here⁠

)

Effective Thesis⁠

resources

Collaborations and interaction

We will consider ways to make this interactive, allowing users, to suggest, discuss, and vote on prioritizing particular pieces of research.

Notes on automating a ‘recommendation engine’ as an input

Automate/AI tools to find, curate, & share research that is either

In one of our explicitly defined categories (e.g., all NBER work mentioning animal welfare)

ML classifies as 'likely to be impactful/relevant' given our previous 'labeled data' (labeled in our Coda research database)

May involve:

Searching/parsing web sites (like the

EA Forum⁠

)

Leveraging existing tools and updated databases like

https://nep.repec.org/⁠

⁠

Our shared Zotero space; ResearchRabbit, Semantic Scholar. Crossref

As well as Elicit and other AI-powered tools

Prefer free and open-source tools

For the ‘publicly shared’ (redacted) list of research we are considering/evaluating or already/evaluated, see
