Hi all

I've put some of the features of Scholarcy into a little online tool that pulls the highlights and main claims from a research paper. Where possible, it will create links direct to free versions of cited papers, and creates a background reading list from Wikipedia.

I'm hoping it will be useful for people who want to get a digest of recently published papers (e.g. from arxiv.org) first-hand, rather than relying on third-hand reports in the media. Or might be useful for journalists who want to get some headlines and quotable content.

Thanks!
