Research digests for analysts and policy researchers

Cross-disciplinary literature monitoring without hiring a librarian.

Policy analysts, quantitative researchers, VC associates, and think-tank staff need to track academic literature across unusual combinations of fields — climate + economics + behaviour science, fintech regulation + crypto, defence tech + AI safety. One-database alerts miss most of it. Relaylit was built for exactly this.

The pain we're solving

Your topic spans 4 disciplines; no single database covers it

You can't expense $200/mo Scopus or Web of Science seats

Press digests miss academic working papers entirely

SSRN alerts are noisy and don't rank

Why Relaylit fits analysts & policy researchers

Cross-discipline by default

OpenAlex + Semantic Scholar + Crossref between them cover economics, political science, engineering, climate, law, and the humanities. Relaylit queries all of them on every brief.

Natural-language briefs

You don't need to know which database indexes what. Describe the problem; Relaylit handles source selection and query translation.

Cost-effective

Pro at $3/month replaces what would otherwise be a $200/month Scopus seat for monitoring use cases. Keep Scopus for deep citation graph work if you need it.

Share with your team

Each digest has a public share URL. Brief your team or send a weekly market-research packet without extra work.

Example briefs

Copy, tweak, paste into your profile.

"Cybersecurity disclosure regulation in the EU, papers from law reviews and policy institutes."

FAQ

Is Relaylit a Scopus or Web of Science replacement?

For monitoring use cases, yes. For deep citation analytics or institutional bibliometrics, keep Scopus/WoS. Most analyst workflows don't need the full Scopus license.
