/ 001 — Subtopics

Six lines of work. One scanner.

01

Cancer

Tumor markers, oncology aptamers, HER2 / EGFR / CTC capture, glioma targeting.

02

Neurodegeneration

Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, amyloid and tau-targeting aptamers, blood-brain-barrier delivery.

03

Infectious disease

SARS-CoV-2, HIV, Ebola, and broader pathogen detection or neutralisation.

04

Biosensor

Aptasensors, lateral-flow assays, SPR, electrochemical and fluorescent readouts.

05

Therapeutic

Aptamer drug-delivery, antagonist and agonist platforms, in-vivo therapeutic candidates.

06

Food safety

Mycotoxins (aflatoxin, OTA), pesticides, foodborne pathogens (Salmonella, E. coli).

/ 002 — Scoring

Composite score, 0 – 100.

FORMULA

Four factors, log-weighted.

composite_score
    = 0.45 × IF_score         ← log₁₀(IF + 1) × 10
    + 0.35 × velocity_score   ← log₁₀(cites/day × 30 + 1) × 25
    + 0.10 × social_score     ← log₁₀(reddit + 5×comments + 2×HN + 1) × 30
    + 0.10 × recency_bonus    ← max(0, 100 × (1 − days_since_pub / 30))

Both impact factor and velocity use a log scale so flagship journals do not entirely crowd out fast-moving mid-tier papers; the recency term keeps fresh work visible before citations have time to accumulate.
