Academic and alumnus team up to take hassle out of journal searches

"A Spotify-like app that lets scientists quickly access research papers online has been developed by an Imperial researcher and an alumnus.

Dr Peter Vincent, from the Department of Aeronautics at Imperial College London, and Benjamin Kaube, entrepreneur and Imperial alumnus, have developed an app called Canary Haz. It enables academics to surf multiple journals online - much like users search online for music - to find research papers.

Colin Smith caught up with Dr Vincent and Benjamin Kaube to learn more about the hassles that academics face when trying to search for papers and why they think Canary Haz could really improve this process."
