What it does

Written by AI from the README

Scores papers from your Zotero journal and arXiv feeds from 0 to 100 against a research profile you write, with an explanation and a sortable Score column. Needs Awesome GPT with a model; email digest optional.

Feeds pile up faster than you can read. This ranks them so you can decide what to read first. Model calls may cost money and your profile is sent to the model.

Your rating of FeedRank for Zotero v0.3.0

Your review is public, under the name you give, and published with the directory's data under CC BY 4.0. Links are removed. We never store your IP address: a scrambled code made from it is kept for 30 days to catch fake reviews. Every review is checked before it's published; how fake ones are spotted isn't published, so it can't be gamed.
