Did you know that a new biomedical research article is published every 30 seconds?! It’s become impossible for researchers to read every paper relevant to their field of research. Mark2Cure allows citizen scientists to help biomedical researchers make research literature more useful. Mark2Cure contributors enable researchers to find the right information faster, uncover new relationships between disparate fields of research, and generate/prioritize new hypothesis faster. We hope to empower citizen scientists to accelerate research on diseases of interest to them. Curious? Join and contribute now!
The Mark2Cure development team has been working hard to get Mark2Cure in shape and have now launched Mark2Cure for our first major beta test. Although Mark2Cure’s current functionality is but a fraction of where we would like it to be, this test is critical to proving that Mark2Cure is worth the development effort. If Mark2Cure does not garner sufficient interest or contributions, it could be dropped before citizen scientists have a chance to make major contributions to biomedical research.

Mark2Cure is now in Public Beta Testing phase and needs contributions from citizen scientists
Over the winter holidays, citizen scientists generously donated their time to help us complete our initial and extremely limited beta test. We are now conducting our first large-scale beta test and really need your help.
Please join us and help prove that citizen science is a viable way to make research literature more useful. You DO NOT NEED a science background to help, and EVERY CONTRIBUTION you make is extremely valuable. Click here to contribute now!
instructions are not well written, the task would be best done with machine learning software since it requires no analytical skills.
Sorry to hear you found the instructions unclear. Please let us know which instructions you found to be unclear. Although machine learning software might be good for the task in this test, it won’t necessarily work for the tasks we have in mind for Mark2Cure in the future.
Recommend make mobile friendly first. Cannot even sign up on my GS5.
