Could you build this?
Partial Aggregating 250M+ academic papers with citation metrics (SJR, FWCI, quartiles) requires indexing massive academic databases (like OpenAlex or Semantic Scholar) and maintaining high-throughput ingestion pipelines.
What it would actually take: Building this requires a multi-terabyte search infrastructure (e.g., Elasticsearch or Typesense) indexing bulk datasets from OpenAlex, CrossRef, and journal ranking sources like Scimago. A distributed worker pool must fetch newly published papers, extract abstracts/full text, query LLM APIs to generate 30-second summaries, and compute/store normalized citation impact metrics.
