If you are looking for contacts at companies, research groups, publications, projects, patents or clinical trials, we now have a solution that makes your life a whole lot easier!
<aside> 💡 The idea is that you'll have everything you need right there in your export file, to write a well-informed email to each person in the file.
</aside>
Let’s dive into the details:
For any category, you’ll now find a 2nd export option to export:
Such a CSV or Excel export file now contains one row per contact, including the first and last name, affiliation, LinkedIn, and other relevant information about the Company/Group/Project/Publication/Patent/Clinical Trial. Validated email addresses are available as an Add-on module.
This comes with great benefits!

When you run a search query, by default we include synonyms for your search terms. Note: synonyms come from MeSH and a gene database.
However, some search terms can include undesired synonyms (e.g. synonyms of ‘CAR’ include Cmar, car1… but also automobile). Especially for acronyms (of genes, diseases, technologies, drugs…) this can introduce more noise.
Yet as of now, you can choose to ignore synonyms! You can of course still copy key synonyms and use the OR operator to build an optimal query.
A 2nd way to cancel noise is by using the Exclude button on the right side of the search bar.
Add any term or phrase and all results that contain those will be removed from your results set.

In case you haven’t found this gem yet… AcademicLabs has for every content category a very powerful way to get the full landscape of any company or other organization that is active on your topics of interest, split by country.
<aside> 💡 Particularly for Competitive Landscaping or identifying new startups, this has proven to be very effective.
</aside>
So where do I find this button?
In any category (except Companies), go to the Organisations filter and click ‘See organisations per country’:
This brings you to the view below.
Per country and organisation, you’ll see:
You can sort on number of results or alphabetically, show only academic or non-academic organisations, and select organisations to filter your results.

Our powerful Bookmark folders are a great way to save relevant profiles and content in one place - be it for a project, a longlist of leads, a short list of experts to consult, etc.
We now made it easier for you to work with colleagues on your bookmark folders:
Send one customized email to invite multiple colleagues at once.
Grant them Edit or only View rights.
Keep the Bookmark Folder private to you and your invited colleagues.
<aside> 💡 Useful when you wish to share results only with team members, or colleagues in R&D or commercial teams. To access the folder, they only need to spend 20 seconds creating a free user account with the email they were invited on (no subscription needed) to access the results (a security measure).
</aside>
Or make it a public folder so that any colleague (or beyond) can access the content you saved if they have access to the link.
<aside> 💡 Useful when you find results that you’d like to share with colleagues in e.g. R&D or commercial teams. They don’t need to create an AcademicLabs user account to access the folder.
</aside>
Fyi, this is what the email looks like for your invited colleagues:

A new Share button makes it easy to share a relevant profile or content with any colleague.
<aside> 💡 Your colleague does not need an AcademicLabs account the view the profile or content, and can even search within the profile.
</aside>
Even better, they can click through to any collaborator profile and other linked content.
The only restriction is that they can’t search the full platform (requires a subscription), bookmark results or create Alerts (requires signing up with a free account).
