SparkFeed

For researchers and analysts

Follow sources.
Keep context close.

Keep published research and public updates together by topic. Compare perspectives, then return to the source before drawing a conclusion.

A cut-paper research map gathers grayscale source clippings around a pale-blue field, with a fine line joining two perspectives and a small coral marker.
What to follow

Build a reading set around your topic.

Keep studies, official updates, and reporting in view together.

Research publications

Follow journals, labs, and research centers through available RSS or Atom feeds.

Public agencies

Keep published reports, data notes, and guidance near related research.

Industry reporting

Read sector coverage alongside the studies and primary sources it discusses.

A better reading routine

One question. A wider view.

Organize published sources by topic and return to each original when you need the detail.

A paper folder groups a journal clipping, report page, and map into a single research source set.

Start with a useful source set.

Follow the journals, agencies, and publications tied to a research question. Keep original links close as articles arrive, then read the source in context.

  • Group source feeds around a topic
  • Read coverage beside primary material
  • Return to the published original
Choose a starting set

Compare perspectives. Keep your judgment.

Read studies alongside agency guidance and industry reporting. Check what each source measures, who it covers, and where its conclusions stop.

  4. Read and assess

    Open originals, compare evidence, and form your own view.

A clear fit

Keep the reading close to the source.

Sparkfeed organizes published reading by topic. You check the evidence and decide what it supports.

01Which research sources can I follow?
Follow RSS or Atom feeds and supported public website sources. Check each source to confirm it returns the published items you need.
02Can I group sources by topic?
Yes. Organize feeds into folders around a question, subject, or research area, then return to that collection when you need it.
03Can I compare articles in Sparkfeed?
You can read articles from different sources in one place. Compare their scope and evidence, then open the original for details.
04Does Sparkfeed verify claims or draw conclusions?
No. Sparkfeed organizes published reading. Check the original sources and make your own assessment of what the evidence supports.
05How should I get started?
Pick one research question, add a few public sources, and confirm their articles arrive as expected. Then build out the topic folder. Explore the live demo.
