A scholar-impact tracker that finds where your work lands across 20+ corpora
— academic journals, news, regulators, Congress, the courts, and more —
and tells you every week where a fresh news headline meets your old research.
What counts as an impact?
An impact is a verified appearance of a scholar's work
somewhere that matters: a citation in a congressional report or hearing,
a federal rule or executive-branch document, a court filing, a think-tank
study, a news story, or an academic paper. Every impact links to the
source document — nothing is counted that can't be shown.

Or upload a CV.xlsx and we'll import every tab. covers 68% of curated profiles autonomously
3. Op-ed opportunities every week new
The differentiator. Every Monday morning we send you:
5–15 fresh news headlines that connect to your existing research
Each one tells you exactly which of your papers it relates to
One click → Claude drafts the first 2 paragraphs of your op-ed for ~$0.002
Passive tracking becomes active publishing. Your old research keeps earning you bylines.
4. Syndication, surfaced
When your WaPo op-ed runs in 67 newspapers, most tools show 67 noisy rows. We cluster them into one row with a "+67 syndicated outlets" badge. So you actually see the picture.
State legislatures that adopted your approach (we track 8 in one scholar's profile)
Think tanks building on your data (15 in one scholar's profile)
Federal policy documents (Economic Report of the President, OIRA, JEC) citing you
Who this is for:
Think-tank scholars, university researchers, policy fellows whose work
spans journals, op-eds, briefs, testimony, and the press — not just
peer-reviewed articles. If your work shapes policy, media, and public
debate, this tool shows you where it lands.
Built with scholars at policy institutes and research universities.
