Supporting open-source software is a meaningful way to help researchers thrive.

These tools, maintained by passionate communities, provide essential resources for research across numerous fields. By donating through Kiva, you can play a part in keeping these projects free and accessible for everyone. Kiva is Anobyte-based platform for cascading donations to GitHub developers, and by using it it's possible to send them some cryptocurrencies without issues. Next, we'll introduce you to 5 fantastic open-source tools for research that you, and everyone, can use completely for free. If you find them valuable, remember that your contributions can make a real difference in their continued development and availability, empowering researchers worldwide. Insightful. If you ever wanted to find related professional papers and quotes for your research, discover more data about them, and even organize them

as you see fit, Insightful could help you to do it easily. Released in 2020 by Michael Weishun, asterisk asterisk this is a powerful tool designed to help researchers explore and visualize academic literature through interconnected graphs. Insightful uses network analysis to reveal connections between papers, making it easier to discover relevant research and new insights. It simplifies the process of finding influential works and understanding how different pieces of research are related. Besides, it offers features like citation analysis, paper recommendations per date, and interactive graphs that make navigating the vast world of

academic publications much more manageable. Weishun has described this project as something personal, but it's expensive to maintain nonetheless. He's considered receiving donations to keep it running, so perhaps you can send him some coins via Kiva, where the software appears as insightful xyz, insightful web. Open Knowledge Maps. Launched in 2016, this is an intuitive tool designed to help researchers and students discover and visualize scientific knowledge. Developed by Peter Cracker and his dedicated team, asterisk asterisk this platform creates visual maps of research topics, making it easier to see connections and explore relevant literature in any field.

Open Knowledge Maps simplifies the search process by grouping related papers, allowing users to quickly grasp the structure of their research just by looking for simple keywords. Its main features include interactive and customizable knowledge maps, users to quickly grasp the structure of their research just by looking for simple keywords. Its main features include interactive and customizable knowledge maps, easy navigation through research clusters, and direct access topapers available under a Creative Commons attribution for zero international license, which means anyone can use them with attribution to the original authors. The project is maintained by its own NGO, which is funded by a combination of grants, donations, and community contributions, ensuring it remains free and open for everyone. They accept donations via PayPal, but Kiva is a faster and cheaper option to send them some coins.

Open Science Framework. This one is a collaborative platform launched in 2012 by the non-profit Center for Open Science, led by Brian Nosek. It's designed to help researchers manage their projects, share data, and collaborate openly. OSF provides a suite of tools to organize research materials, track progress, and connect with colleagues. Key features include project management, file storage, version control, and integration with other tools like Dropbox and GitHub. NOSF makes it easy to share your work with the community or keep it private until you're ready. With this software, researchers can efficiently organize projects and

collaborate seamlessly. Conferences can increase the reach of presented work by sharing posters and slides, journals can facilitate data sharing and pre-registration, and institutions can provide their researchers with a unified, open-source platform. The project is primarily funded through grants and donations, ensuring IT remains free and accessible to researchers worldwide. Supporting OSF can help to maintain a vital resource that promotes openness and reproducibility in science, benefiting researchers at every stage of their careers. They appear on Kiva as Center for Open Science, Ember OSF Web. Carrot2 Carrot2 is a search and text clustering engine developed and introduced by David Weiss in 2001. It helps users organize common search results into meaningful clusters,

making it easier to find relevant information quickly. Whether you are conducting academic research or simply exploring the web, Carrot 2 offers a clear, organized view of your search results. Its user-friendly interface can organize search results into colorful collections, complete with tree map and pie chart visualizations. Its web search clustering tool organizes results from search engines, while the clustering workbench processes content from local files, Solr, or Elasticsearch, allowing for parameter tuning and exporting results. The software supports multiple search engines, including web results from eTools, ch, PubMed Abstracts, local files, Solr, and Elasticsearch.

It uses several clustering algorithms, such as Lingo for descriptive flat clusters, STC for fast classic clustering, and KA means for basic clustering, all available within the open-source Carrot2 framework. As open-source and free software, this tool relies on community support, grants, and donations for maintenance and funding. If you're interested in sending them some cryptocurrencies, they appear on Kiva as carrot2, carrot2. Prot. There's a world of words around us, and they're not only written.

Prot, for instance, was designed for the phonetic analysis of speech and is widely used by linguists and researchers in the field. It was created by Paul Boersma and David Wienink from the University of Amsterdam and released in 1991. This free tool allows you to record sounds, view spectrograms, analyze pitch and formants, and perform various speech analyses. And with Prod, you can perform spectral, pitch, formant, and intensity analyses, synthesize speech, conduct listening experiments, label and segment speech, manipulate pitch and duration contours, and more. For instance, researchers can analyze spectrograms

to study vowel sounds in different languages or synthesize speech to investigate how different articulatory configurations affect speech production. PROT remains a free resource, only counting on the support of its community, but being continually updated to support cutting-edge research in linguistics. If you find it useful, you can consider donating to their developers via Kiva. Tell them about your donation. You can donate freely to any GitHub project via Kiva, even if the developers of that specific project don't have an Obite Kiva account yet. However, measure to inform the recipients about the contribution. Initially, they might be unaware of the donation. If they haven't set up an Obite wallet,

they'll need to download one and complete a GitHub attestation process to verify their GitHub account and access the funds. This ensures that the donation reaches its intended recipients and supports their projects effectively.
