SciR Labs · for research labs and journal clubs
Your whole lab, listening to the same papers.
Pick the papers your team should know. Everyone listens in SciRead. You see who has finished and who has not started. No more "I didn't get to it" at lab meeting.
- Start your lab here. The lab head signs up on this page and pays by card. This page is the only place to buy it.
- Add your people by email. They sign in to SciRead with that same email. The lab plan turns on by itself.
- Pick papers, see who listened. Add a paper with a due day. Everyone gets it. You see finished, halfway and not started.
Fair for everyone: the lab head sees only which lab papers a person finished. Nothing else they listen to is shared.
Names and papers here are examples.
Two simple plans
Pick what your lab needs.
Up to 10 people on either plan, the lab head included. Universities and academic labs pay no sales tax; private companies pay sales tax where the law asks for it. Stop any time. Paid securely through Stripe.

Questions
Good to know.
Who is SciR Labs for?
Research labs, journal clubs, study groups and small teams who read papers together. The lab head picks the papers; everyone listens.
Do the people I add pay anything?
No. The lab plan covers up to 10 people, the lab head included. They just sign in to SciRead with the email you added.
What can the lab head see?
Only the lab papers: who finished each one, who is partway, and who has not started. Nothing else a person listens to or saves is shared.
Why no sales tax for universities?
Academic labs at universities and research institutes pay no sales tax with us. Private companies pay sales tax where the law asks for it.
Can I buy SciR Labs inside the app?
No. SciR Labs is bought only on this page. In the app, your lab simply turns on when you sign in with the email your lab head added.
How do I stop?
Sign in to SciR Labs Admin and open Plan and bills. You can stop any time; your lab keeps working until the end of the time you paid for.
