Research library

Other research sources

Papers, datasets, models, and field notes are connected into a practical research map for digital beekeeping, from academic references to applied Gratheon experiments.

Research map

Navigate the research collection

External search entry points for finding more bee, beehive, and precision-beekeeping research. We use OpenAlex and arXiv for automated discovery, then these portals for manual checks, PDFs, preprints, citation trails, and publisher-specific searches.

OpenAlex

Automated discovery

Broad scholarly index with metadata, DOI links, institutions, concepts, citation data, and open-access locations. Best first pass for new candidates and deduplication.

arXiv

Automated preprint scan

Fast signal for computer vision, robotics, machine learning, and sensor papers before journal publication. Needs manual relevance review for bee-related terms.

Google Scholar

Citation trails

Useful for finding highly cited papers, related articles, and newer work citing a known paper. Good for manual snowball searches.

Semantic Scholar

AI-assisted relevance

Strong abstracts, topic matching, citation context, and recommendations. Helpful for quickly deciding whether a candidate is product-relevant.

Crossref

DOI verification

Best for publisher metadata, DOI lookup, publication dates, and avoiding duplicate entries under slightly different titles.

PubMed

Bee health literature

Biomedical and life-science coverage for Varroa, pathogens, pesticides, colony health, and ecological studies that can inform monitoring features.

bioRxiv

Biology preprints

Early biology, ecology, and behavior manuscripts. Useful for bee-health signals, but often broader than digital beekeeping.

medRxiv

Medical preprints

Occasionally relevant for bee products, allergens, and health-adjacent topics. Usually lower priority for Gratheon product research.

MDPI

Open-access publisher

Many sensors, agriculture, IoT, and computer-vision papers are available as full-text HTML/PDF. Good for fast PDF review.

ScienceDirect

Publisher search

Elsevier journals and conference proceedings. Useful for agriculture, ecological modelling, and engineering papers, though access may vary.

SpringerLink

Publisher search

Good coverage for applied AI, robotics, smart agriculture, and environmental sensing conference chapters and journals.

IEEE Xplore

Engineering papers

Best for sensors, embedded systems, signal processing, wireless telemetry, edge AI, and robotics work.

AGRIS

Agriculture index

FAO-linked agricultural literature index. Good for beekeeping, pollination, crops, rural systems, and applied field studies.

DOAJ

Open-access journals

Directory of open-access journal articles. Useful when we need accessible full text and want to avoid paywall-only leads.

CORE

Repository PDFs

Aggregates institutional repositories and open PDFs. Useful for locating author manuscripts when publisher pages are closed.

ResearchGate

Author uploads

Helpful for author-provided PDFs, project context, and follow-up papers. Metadata should be verified elsewhere before ingest.

Academia.edu

Author uploads

Another route to author copies and older papers. Use as a discovery aid, then confirm DOI, venue, and publication date.
